Appointing
an ameer during Hajj journey
*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is our appointing an ameer ("group"
leader) during our Hajj journey permissible or not?
Response:
It is legislated for a group whilst travelling, if they are
three or more that they appoint an ameer from amongst themselves.
It is mentioned in the Sunan of Aboo Daawood on the authority
of Aboo Sa'eed al-Khudree (radhi-yallaahu
'anhu) that the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) said:
((If
three depart on a journey, then one of them must lead them
(i.e. be the ameer))), [Abu Daawood - Volume 3, Page 81, Hadeeth
Reference: 2608; al-Bayhaqee - Volume 5, Page 257; al-Baghawee
in Sharhus-Sunnah - Volume 11, Page 23, Hadeeth Reference:
2676].
And
with that they should combine their issues and should not
be divided in their decisions and nor should there be conflict
between them.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
