Hajj al-Saroura: Comparative Jurisprudential Study

Abstract

This research is based on a comparative jurisprudential study of the ruling on “Hajj al-Saroura” (the pilgrimage of one who has never performed Ḥajj before). I divided it into an introduction and two topics as follows: In the first topic, I discussed the definition of Ḥajj linguistically and terminologically, the linguistic meaning of “saroura”, and the definition of Hajj al-Sarura. In the second topic, I presented the opinions of the four Sunni schools of jurisprudence regarding the ruling on Hajj al-Saroura, along with their evidence and a discussion of this evidence. I also mentioned the preponderant opinion and the reasons for its preponderance. Finally, I concluded the research with the main findings I reached, followed by a list of resources and references.
