5. When Hajj Becomes Obligatory


Hajj became an incumbent religious duty in the 9th year of al- hijrah, when the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  sent his companion, Abu Bakr ,to lead a Hajj congregation. 

He also sent Ali to announce the revelation of Surah Bara'ah [also known as Surah at- Tawbah]. 

He recited the first forty verses of this surah and announced,
"Starting next year, no idolator will be allowed to visit Makkah, and no one will be allowed to perform the 
circumambulation [tawaf ] of the House naked."
