In a recent article on Slate.com, the author says regarding Hajj, “Saudi Arabia has turned the holy journey into a political and moral nightmare. Idon’t see how I can go.” When I googled Boycott Hajj, articles upon articles popped up about this issue - in fact, there is also a petition, now closed, on change.org calling for boycott Saudi and boycott Hajj. Given that Hajj is one of the five pillars of faith, how should we make sense of this issue? As always, let’s sit down and talk to Dr.Shabir Ally and learn more?

What is Hajj?The Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims. It is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adult Muslims who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey, and can support their family during their absence. In Islamic terminology, Hajj is a pilgrimage made to Kaaba, the "House of God", in the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The rites of Hajj are performed over 5 or 6 days. It is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God (Allah).
