Presentation of examples of anomalous fatwas related to Hajj.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, there is something even more serious than this that we heard regarding the topic of Hajj. Of course, Muzdalifah is one of the images we are conveying to you.
The second image is that they went to stone the pillars before the Fajr prayer, prayed Fajr in the Haram, performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, did the Sa'y, and then left. Yes, that is correct.
The third matter in which they issue fatwas, or the last one in which the Shaykhs here issue fatwas, unfortunately, is that staying overnight in Mina is not obligatory. It is sufficient to spend some hours of the night staying awake, and then you withdraw and go to Makkah to sleep there. Yes, and so on. This is the strange matter in which our minister issues a fatwa.
The other matter is that for the first time I am hearing this, meaning in Hajj. I have performed Hajj three or four times, meaning here I did not hear it for the first time; I heard it there for the first time. It is that they permitted stoning on the third day after 12:00, after the sun passes its zenith. For example, instead of stoning on the third day, I go now in the morning and stone for the second day, wait until the time of Dhuhr, the zenith, passes, and stone for the third day, and then I withdraw and go. This is a fatwa issued by Dr. Al-Sarqawi, Fuad, and some of the Shaykhs who...
The Shaykh : Is this fatwa for the general public?
The questioner : Yes, this fatwa is for the general public, even one of the common people, may Allah reward him with good.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : One of the common people said to him, "Shaykh, fear Allah. Where did you get this from? Common people? From the common people?"
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : Yes, of course, they denied to him that this is a common person. He said, "By Allah, I am hearing this matter for the first time."
The other matter is a strange fatwa.
The Shaykh : Again.
The questioner : Yes, a man and a woman. And this, of course, involves laxity in stoning. When some people come to ask us, we are sitting here, and the Director of Endowments of Amman says, "Do not ask these two about me." And Abu al-Walid came, one person came to ask. Of course, he came to ask us, so they answered Walid because of his long beard and so on. He said, "No, no, no, do not ask these two. Ask here. Direct him to one sitting with us to ask him." Look at the question. The question said to him, "I went, I and my wife, and this, unfortunately, is from the laxity in the rulings of the Shari'ah, meaning Hajj has become meaningless. Yes, that is correct."
The Shaykh : It is up to them.
The questioner : It is up to them. The delegation in stoning. He said to him, "I and my wife went to stone. My wife delegated a person, and I delegated a person. When we stoned and left, it turned out that I and my wife stoned for the same person. Meaning, she thought she was delegated for so-and-so, and I thought I was delegated for the same person, so-and-so. So we both stoned for him, and one person was not stoned for. We returned. What do we do, Shaykh?" He said to him, "It is done. The important thing is the intention. They went to stone but did not stone." I said to him, "Shaykh, fear Allah. May Allah bless you. What is this you are issuing a fatwa on? I seek refuge in Allah. This speech you are saying is not permissible in the Shari'ah, because the goal and the objective were not achieved. And even if the intention is not returned to him, my uncle, may Allah bless you, go and stone. Let the man go and stone. And if he is sick and cannot, you go and stone for him a second time." He said, "Shaykh, it is hard on me and tiring. May Allah guide you, and I do not know what, by Allah, Shaykh."
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. For you, the whole Hajj is tiring.
The questioner : It is all tiring.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Strange matters.
Another questioner : He performs Hajj by correspondence.
The Shaykh : The audience : They laugh.
The questioner : By Allah, Shaykh, matters, meaning truly.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
The questioner : Our brothers there issue fatwas. I ask Allah for safety. I think that most of the Jordanian pilgrims return without Hajj in this matter.
The Shaykh : Meaning, as the Bedouin said, "I did not perform Hajj, but the camels performed Hajj."
The questioner : This is our brother, Dr. 'Aqil. I know him through the university. The man's mental level and understanding, unfortunately, is miserable. He issued a fatwa that the menstruating woman, and the woman in general, whether menstruating or pure, we used to advise our sisters there that they should not go to pray in the Haram. The strange contradiction you find with these Shaykhs is that in the Haram, let her go, my brother. Dr. 'Aqil says, "O Haratam, coming from Amman, here you see the Haram," and they prevent her. Is it not haram?
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Let her go, my brother, to the Haram. Well, Shaykh, first, the crowding. The woman's shoulder is against the man's shoulder, and her chest is against the man's chest, and her state is a state of this crowding, Shaykh. The woman is exposed to fitnah, and the man equally. Look at the contradiction, Shaykh. In the stoning, which is not in hardship like the hardship of going to the Haram, going out and coming in, he says there is no obstacle, go. And in the Haram, he says to the woman, go pray.
The Shaykh : The opposite.
The questioner : I said, Allahu Akbar. If the pillar is in stoning, and the obligatory thing in it is that you go and stone, you are sitting and permitting delegation.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : As for going to the mosque, it is recommended for the woman, not obligatory.
The Shaykh : No, it is not recommended. It is better for her to pray in her house.
The questioner : The virtue is that she prays in her house. May Allah reward you with good. That she prays in her house.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Subhan Allah. They do not prevent her. But here, by Allah, Shaykh, strange matters.
The Shaykh : This is the verification of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 100 This is it.
The questioner : Yes, then there is a matter. Our brother Waleed, may Allah reward him with good. Dr. 'Aqil said, "We are not scholars, we are followers of taqlid." When he responded to him in this, he said to him, "Shaykh, since you are not a scholar, why do you issue fatwas to people?"
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Why do you issue fatwas to people since you are not a scholar? Why do you issue fatwas to people? And what is the difference between us and the common people? If we are all common people.
The Shaykh : No, there is no difference.[Al-Isra 17:36] See now the admission of their religion.
The questioner : Authentic
The Shaykh : Allah says, what does it mean "I am not a scholar and I am a follower of taqlid"? Meaning he has no knowledge. The one who has no knowledge should not issue fatwas to people. So our Lord says[Al-Isra 17:36].
The questioner : Our Shaykh does not admit it because they fall into hardship...
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : They say this speech.
The Shaykh : So that they appear before people in the appearance of scholars, while he admits that he is not a scholar. To Allah is the complaint and to Him is the return.
The second image is that they went to stone the pillars before the Fajr prayer, prayed Fajr in the Haram, performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, did the Sa'y, and then left. Yes, that is correct.

The Shaykh : This is the verification of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray.
إن الله لا ينتزع العلم انتزاعا من صدور العلماء ولكنه يقبض العلم بقبض العلماء حتى إذا لم يبق عالما اتخذ الناس رؤوسا جهالا فسئلوا فأفتوا بغير علم فضلوا وأضلواThe questioner : Yes, then there is a matter. Our brother Waleed, may Allah reward him with good. Dr. 'Aqil said, "We are not scholars, we are followers of taqlid." When he responded to him in this, he said to him, "Shaykh, since you are not a scholar, why do you issue fatwas to people?"
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Why do you issue fatwas to people since you are not a scholar? Why do you issue fatwas to people? And what is the difference between us and the common people? If we are all common people.
The Shaykh : No, there is no difference.
And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge
ولا تقف ما ليس لك به علمThe questioner : Authentic
The Shaykh : Allah says, what does it mean "I am not a scholar and I am a follower of taqlid"? Meaning he has no knowledge. The one who has no knowledge should not issue fatwas to people. So our Lord says
And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.
ولا تقف ما ليس لك به علم إن السمع والبصر والفؤاد كل أولئك كان عنه مسؤولاThe questioner : Our Shaykh does not admit it because they fall into hardship...
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : They say this speech.
The Shaykh : So that they appear before people in the appearance of scholars, while he admits that he is not a scholar. To Allah is the complaint and to Him is the return.
