Commentary
‘Ash-hur – (the months) Shawwal, Zii-qadah and
ten days of Dhul-Hijjah (three months of Lunar Calendar) have
been set for Hajj (Pilgrimage). Actual Columns (Arkaan) of the Hajj are
performed during the second week of Dhul-Hijjah. But making a vow
of the Pilgrimage (preparatory to entrance into Makkah) begins two
months in advance from the month of Shawwal. The ‘Ihraam (the
garment worn by the Pilgrims on entering the limits of Haram (Meeqaat)
is required to be worn by every Pilgrim. This Dress is two unstitched sheets.
Imam Abu Hanifah (God’s
Mercy be upon him) says: The Pilgrim can make a vow of the Pilgrimage
(wear ‘Ihraam) as and when he wishes, but it is disapproved for the
Pilgrimage before the month of Shawwal. According to him (God’s
Mercy be upon him), it is lawful also to wear the ‘Ihraam before
the month of Shawwal because it is not the pillar of the
Pilgrimage; but a condition only for the Pilgrimage.
Faraza fiihin-nal-
Hajja –
(while anybody is minded to perform the Pilgrimage therein), that is to say;
someone has intended to perform the Pilgrimage during the season of Hajj and
has made the Pilgrimage incumbent upon himself properly. Practical Sign for
(must have to perform) the Hajj is to wear the ‘Ihraam (garment
worn by the Pilgrims on entering into Makkah).
Rafasa - (to be
shameless and dress-less before the woman), here it aims, “To talk specified
conversation with the wife in the private chamber”.
Fusuuqa - (to
commit a sin), it aims all types of sins, little or big like abusing,
depravity, immorality, sensuality, debauch.
Jidaala – (to quarrel),
like angry conversation, beating, argument, dispute, calling names and
accosting with impolite words.
Some necessary
commands regarding Pilgrimage have been prescribed in this verse. The months of
Hajj have been fixed and three matters have been told to refrain from them
during this period:
· Sensual intercourse
and lewdness with one’s wife is entirely forbidden, as far as bringing the
sensual/sexual thoughts on the tongue are prohibited also. As it was commanded
that you should abstain from some lawful matters during the fasting, likewise
it has been commanded also that you should keep up the cleanliness and chastity
during the tenure of Hajj.
· Every person should
refrain from the little and the big sins. It is clear that at that time when
many lawful acts become unlawful in the form of‘Ihraam (after
wearing the garment of the Pilgrimage) then it was necessary that the Pilgrims
should be instructed strictly to refrain from all other sins.
·
Every Pilgrim should abstain from all kinds of quarrels. The
people of every age, kind and nature come from all parts of the world at the
time of Pilgrimage. During such types of situations anyone can incline towards
sinfulness and quarrels. So, Allah Almighty forbade in advance from all those
matters, so that, the chastity and endurance power may grow into the Muslims.
