Rukun: Pillars That Cannot Be Replaced
- Rukun are pillars of Hajj whose omission invalidates the entire Hajj, with no compensation accepted.
- Examples include standing at Arafah and the main tawaf (tawaf al-ifadah).
Difference Between Wajib And Sunnah
- Wajib actions are obligatory but can be compensated with a fidya if missed, while sunnah actions reward you but do not require compensation.
- Many pilgrims conflate sunnah and wajib and unnecessarily perform sacrifices for missed sunnahs.
How To Make Up A Missed Wajib (Fidya)
- If you miss a wajib of Hajj, fulfill one of three fidya options: offer an animal sacrifice, fast three days upon return, or feed six needy people.
- Choose any of the three options; there is no required order or preference.
