Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Malik: This year’s Hajj was of a new type.
The Shaykh : How do you mean?
Abu Malik: A Hajj that neither you nor any other scholar knows.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed!
Abu Malik: The form of the Hajj is as follows...
The Shaykh: In Iran, if Allah wills?
Abu Malik: No, in Iran they are performing Hajj for Khomeini; now a structure is being built for Khomeini, a very large building that costs billions of dollars, so that they can perform Hajj for Khomeini every year; but this Hajj took place in Makkah.
The Shaykh: Tell us so we can see.
Abu Malik: They left on the eighth day of 'Arafah.
The Shaykh: To 'Arafah immediately.
Abu Malik: And they spent the night of the ninth in 'Arafah, then they descended to Makkah immediately after the sun set, and they waited until the middle of the night, and they performed the circumambulation of the Ka'bah, the tawaf al-ifadah, then they returned to Muzdalifah and picked up the pebbles and stood there for some time in Muzdalifah and prayed Maghrib and 'Isha after the middle of the night, of course, then they hurried down to Mina and stoned the pillars before the sun rose, and perhaps even before Fajr.
The Shaykh: These are undoubtedly the weak ones.
Abu Malik: No, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Spiritual.
Abu Malik: Yes, they did this in their Hajj; they performed the tawaf first, they did not spend the night, and they did not spend the night in Muzdalifah, and they did not pray Fajr there; they prayed Fajr in Mina and stoned before Fajr; so this is the new Hajj.
The Shaykh: So, undoubtedly, Professor, it is not hidden from you that these are based on a fatwa...
Abu Malik: Of course, because they have a Shaykh with them.
The Shaykh : That is it.
Abu Malik: Yes, they have a Shaykh with them.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar, the rituals have become chaos; where is this spiritual education?
Abu Layla: What is the validity of this Hajj, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is invalid.
The questioner: Does not Hajj have pillars and obligations?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner: If a person performs the pillars, like this group that Abu Malik spoke about, I believe they performed the required pillars, which are four pillars: ascending to 'Arafah, the tawaf, and stoning the pillars, but the times...
Abu Malik: And their order, is their order like the order of the prayer?
The Shaykh : How do you mean?
Abu Malik: A Hajj that neither you nor any other scholar knows.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed!
Abu Malik: The form of the Hajj is as follows...
