Question

What is meant by “وفي حرم الحج'” (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

 

Answer

This word can be pronounced in two ways:

  1. Fi Hurumil Hajj, which would mean, during the time, place and conditions of Hajj
  2. Fi Haramil Hajj, which means we were in a state of sanctity where the restrictions of Hajj applied

(Sahih Muslim with Al Minhaj, Hadith: 2914 and Fathul Bari, Hadith: 1560, vol. 3, pg. 421)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
