The validity of some people performing Hajj without means of transportation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
It is said that there are men among the men of the "Khatwa" (walking pilgrimage) who perform Hajj without any means of transportation. It is also said that they attend funerals in Makkah while they are originally located in a very distant area. Has the wind, for example, been made to serve them in their movements? We ask for guidance.
Answer: This is among the superstitions and misguidance of people. Some Sufis may claim that they have miracles (karamat) that enable them to reach Makkah without cars, airplanes, or anything else. This is among their superstitions and misguidance. It may be that some of them have a connection with the jinn, serving and worshipping the jinn, so the jinn carry them to Makkah and other places, as mentioned by Abu al-Abbas Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), the Shaykh al-Islam, and others.
This may happen to some of the worshippers and servants of the jinn. These people are not to be considered, nor can one rely on them, because one who worships the jinn is among the polytheists, and his Hajj is invalid.
Therefore, the conclusion is that these reports are either of the kind of superstitions that the Sufis and their like say, claiming to be close friends of Allah (awliya) and having miracles, when in fact they are lying; or they are from the allies of Satan, whom the devils carry and transport from place to place, because he worships them and obeys them. So when he served and worshipped them, they served him by transporting him from place to place. We ask Allah for safety from this. Yes.
