QIRA'ATS AND REGULATIONS ON HAJJ

The Qur'an is the primary source of Islamic law. General and special sharia norms are derived from its text. This aspect of the Qur'an has been the subject of interest of numerous Islamic scholars in the context of interpreting the normative ayahs - ajatu'l-ahkam. The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is prescribed by the Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, s.a.w.s. The basic regulations of Hajj are derived from the Qur'anic ayahs, and they are stated in various Qira'at variants. The recorded Qira'at versions eliminate certain doubts, extend or give new meaning to the Qur'anic text. Although their form differs, Qira'ats are intertwined, which indicates their unique source and origin. Without contradiction and exclusivity, the Qira'ats support, explain and interpret one another, which can be of great importance, especially for the Qur'an commentators and Islamic jurists who derive specific Sharia rules from them. In this paper, we will deal with Sharia law commentaries on Hajj regulations by eminent Islamic scholars, but only from the perspective of Qira'at. The following Sharia laws were analyzed: Sa'j between Safe and Merwa, Reason for banning sexual intercourse, ugly words and quarrels during Hajj, Performing Umrah, Redemption for intentional killing an animal while a hajji is in the state of Ihram, Maintaining personal hygiene while performing Hajj and Performing qurbani.
