The
year in which the Hajj began
*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the correct opinion concerning
the Hijree year in which the Hajj began (was legislated)?
Response:
The scholars have differed as to which year the Hajj was obligated.
So, it is said in the fifth year, and it is said in the sixth
year, and it is said in the ninth year and it is said in the
tenth year. And the closest to that which is correct are the
last two opinions and that it was either obligated in the
ninth year or the tenth year.
And
with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
