Guidance for Pilgrims to Ask the Scholars About What They Do Not Know

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there any noble guidance, Your Eminence, for those who may perform the rites of Hajj to ask the scholars and the people of remembrance?

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for every believing man and woman to ask about whatever is unclear to them regarding Hajj and other matters: in their Hajj, in their prayer, in their zakah, in their fasting, and in their transactions. Allah the Exalted says:
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَ
[Surah al-Nahl: 43]. It is also narrated from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Do they not ask when they do not know? Indeed, the cure for ignorance is asking.ألا سألوا إذ لم يعلموا؟ إنما شفاء العي السؤال
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 1:995
Therefore, it is obligatory for one who is ignorant to ask about his prayer, his fasting, his Hajj, his jihad, his zakah, and his transactions. It is not permissible to remain silent and proceed in ignorance; rather, he must ask the scholars. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, may the Shaykh be respected.
