Does Hajj become valid during the days of Tashreeq?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The months of Hajj are Dhu al-Qa'dah and Dhu al-Hijjah. Does Hajj become valid during the days of Tashreeq?
The Shaykh : Regarding the months of Hajj, some scholars hold that they are two months and ten days, while others hold that they are two months and thirteen days, ending with the last of the days of Tashreeq. The apparent view is that they are three months, meaning the last of them is Muharram.
Hajj does not become valid during the days of Tashreeq. Perhaps you mean 'Umrah?
The questioner : No, no...
The Shaykh : Hajj is not possible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How can it become valid?
The questioner : A new Hajj becomes valid. I mean, the person, after he has finished his Hajj.
The Shaykh : If he enters the state of ihram for next year, he has entered the state of ihram for Hajj before its months.
The questioner : But within the months of Hajj.
The Shaykh : The months of Hajj for this year are not the months of next year. The months of next year do not begin until the month of Shawwal is confirmed.
And upon this rests the scholarly disagreement: Does Hajj become valid before its months? Some scholars said: It becomes valid, but with dislike (makruh). Others said: It does not become valid. And upon this, the state of ihram is converted. If he enters the state of ihram for Hajj, for example, during the days of Tashreeq this year, he converts it to 'Umrah, performs the circumambulation (tawaf) and the walking (sa'y), and shortens his hair. Then in the following year, he performs the Hajj.
