Necessity of participation of "al-Hajj book" professors in solving emerging jurisprudential issues

According to the Hajj Information base, referring to the geographical changes of the places and the laws created by the host country, he said: In the past years, we have witnessed changes in the location of the altar, an increase in the dimensions of the triple Jamarat, the expansion of the Sa’i area, and adding the upper floors of Tawaf and Mas’i. All of these changes require examination and jurisprudential opinions.

In recent years, we have held joint and regular meetings with the jurisprudential representatives of the most respected religious authorities’ missions, and fortunately, consultations on various jurisprudential issues of Hajj have had been good results, Hojjat al-Islam Navvab noted.

Addressing various problems of people who were physically unable to perform hajj, Supreme Leader’s representative in Hajj and pilgrimage affairs added: holding specialized meetings by the Medical Sciences Academy, Hajj Medical Center, and a group of respected jurisprudential experts were among other programs carried out last year, which led to the development of regulations and criteria for physical ability to perform the Hajj. In the last Hajj, we witnessed 36% reduction in the number of deaths and fewer physical problems for pilgrims.

Referring to a flight for Umrah pilgrims to Taif Airport, he said: with the new plan, the pilgrims' fatigue for performing their hajj duties will be reduced, and they will have more time to be present in Medina and Mecca, and we hope that this plan will expand in the coming years.

Referring to the importance of holding a meeting with professors of outside courses the "Book of al-Hajj", head of Iranian pilgrims said: "The present gathering of professors of outside courses al-Hajj, some of whom are also Hajj and Umrah caravans’ clerics, is a very valuable opportunity for the Supreme Leader's Delegation Office to benefit from the views and jurisprudential opinions or solutions proposed by this gathering."

A number of attendees at the meeting then expressed their views and opinions on various Hajj issues.

Appreciation Supreme Leader's Delegation Office in holding the meeting, explaining the rulings of Hajj using visual facilities for pilgrims, the need for the caravan clerics to be familiar with contemporary jurisprudence and the rulings of other Islamic schools, and paying more attention to seminary elites were among the issues raised by the members present at the meeting.

Utilizing cyberspace to maintain communication and educate clerics and pilgrims, and paying attention to Hajj diplomacy were among the other points raised by the members present at the meeting.

In the end, it was suggested that the professors of outside courses the "Book of al-Hajj" hold regular meetings to review new jurisprudential issues, and that new jurisprudential topics be presented to them for discussion in the outside courses, and that the jurisprudential opinions of these professors be used to solve the problems.
