Is hajj of 1981 hajj e Akbar?
Shia:If you mean akbar, I can answer you that, we have at least some hadis in this regard. In a hadis witch narrated from Imam Sadigh(AS) that he said: "the greater haj is yavm Al-Nahr (ead al-azha, 10'th of zelhajja') and the miner is umra'". Man la yahzor Al-Faghih v3 p376.It has been wrongly believed that if the 9th of Zil Hajja (the Day of Arfa) falls on Friday, it is Hajj-i-Akbar. Actually, Umra is Minor Hajj. A person who performs Umra is also Haji (Pilgrim). The Hajj that is performed during 8th to 13th of ZilHajja is Hajj-i-Akbar. The Day of Arfa may fall on any day of the week.
Who was the sahabi who did hajj secretly?
Despite the preoccupation of the great companion Khaled bin Al-Waleed with jihad for the sake of God, his heart remained attached to the Sacred House and longed for Hajj. When he was convinced of the victory of the Muslim army, Khalid decided to go to Hajj secretly so that the enemy army would not know that, so they exploited his absence and strengthened their power.
How many types of hajj are there?
There are three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan.Tamattu' means entering ihraam for 'Umrahonly during the months of Hajj (the months of Hajjare Shawwaal, Dhu'l-Qi'dah and Dhu'l-Hijjah; see al-Sharh al-Mumti', 7/62). When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf and saa'i for 'Umrah, and shaves his head or cuts his hair, and exits ihraam. Then when the day of al-Tarwiyah, which is the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijjah, comes, he enters ihraam for Hajj only, and does all the actions of Hajj. So Tamattu' involves a complete 'Umrah and a complete Hajj. Ifraad means entering ihraam for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa'i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraamuntil he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-'Aqabah on the day of Eid. If he delays the saa'i of Hajj until after the tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that.Qiraan means entering ihraam for 'Umrah and Hajj both together. Or entering ihraam for 'Umrah first then including Hajj in that before starting the tawaaf of Hajj. That is done by intending that his tawaaf and saa'i will be for both Hajj and 'Umrah.The actions done in Qiraan are the same as those done in Ifraad, except that the pilgrim doing Qiraan has to offer a hadiy (sacrifice) whereas the pilgrim doing Ifraad does not.The best of these three types of Hajj is Tamattu'. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined upon his companions and urged them to do. Even if a person enters ihraam for Qiraan or Ifraad, then it is strongly recommended for him to change his intention to 'Umrah, then complete 'Umrah and exit ihraam, so that he will then be doing Tamattu'. He may do that after doing tawaaf al-qudoom and saa'i - because when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did tawaaf and saa'iduring his Farewell Pilgrimage, and his companions were with him, he told everyone who did not have a sacrificial animal (hadiy) to change his intention and make his ihraamfor 'Umrah and to cut his hair and exit ihraam, and he said, "Were it not that I have brought the hadiy with me, I would do what I have commanded you to do."Source: Islam Q&A http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/31822/

Al-Masjid Al-Haram ( المسجد الحرام‎, The Grand Mosque) is located in the city of Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.It is the largest mosque in the world and surrounds the Kaaba; that is one of Islam's holiest places; Muslims face in the direction of the Kaaba while performing formal worship, salat.Muslim are required to perform pilgrimage (or Hajj) at least once in his/her lifetime if able to do so.

How old is hajj?
Allaah says in the book of Quran (interpretation of the meaning): "And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj)" [al-Hajj 22:27] Ibn Katheer says in his commentary on this verse (3/221): This means: Proclaim (O Ibraaheem) the Hajj to the people, calling them to come on pilgrimage to this House which We have commanded you to build. It was mentioned that he said, "O Lord, how can I proclaim it to the people when my voice does not reach them?" He said, "Call and We will convey it." So he stood in his maqaam (station) - or it was said, on the rock, or on al-Safa, or on Abu Qubays (a mountain) - and said: "O people, your Lord has taken a House, so come to it on pilgrimage." And it was said that the mountains lowered themselves so that his voice could reach all parts of the earth and those who were still in the wombs or in men's loins also heard, and everything that heard him, cities, nomad encampments and trees, and everyone whom Allaah has decreed should perform Hajj until the Day of Resurrection responded, (saying) Labbayk Allaahumma labbayk (Here I am, O Allaah, here I am. This is the summary of what was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas, Mujaahid, 'Ikrimah, Sa'eed ibn Jubayr and others among the salaf. And Allaah knows best. Ibn al-Jawzi, in his book Mutheer al-'Azm al-Saakin (1/354) narrated something similar, but more briefly, and he attributed it to the narrators of Seerah. This has to do with the history of the enjoining of Hajj before the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). With regard to the enjoining of Hajj in Islam, there is some scholarly difference of opinion concerning that. It was said that it was enjoined in 6 AH, or in 7 AH, or in 9 AH, or in 10 AH. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) was certain that it was enjoined in 9 or 10 AH. He (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma'aad: "There is no dispute that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not perform Hajj after he migrated to Madeenah apart from one Hajj, which was the Farewell Pilgrimage. And there is no dispute that that occurred in 10 AH… When the command to perform Hajj was revealed, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) hastened to perform Hajj with no delay. Because the enjoining of Hajj came at a later stage, in 9 or 10 AH, one might say, How can you prove that the command to perform Hajj was delayed until 9 or 10 AH? We would say that the first part of Soorah Aal 'Imraan was revealed in the year of delegations ('aam al-wufood), during which the delegation from Najraan came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he made a treaty with them regarding their paying the jizyah, and the (ruling on) jizyah was revealed in the year of Tabook, 9 AH, when the first part of Soorat Aal 'Imraan was revealed…" Al-Qurtubi said in his Tafseer (2/4/92): Hajj was known to the Arabs. When Islam came, they were told about something they already knew and what was enjoined upon them was something they were familiar with…" See also Ahkaam al-Qur'aan by Ibn al-'Arabi, 1/286.

How many times did prohet mohammed went on hajj?
Praise be to Allaah.It was narrated from Qutaadah that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) told him that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed 'Umrah four times, all of them in Dhu'l-Qi'dah apart from the 'Umrah which he performed with his Hajj: (he did) 'Umrah from al Hudaybiyah or at the time of al-Hudaybiyah in Dhu'l-Qi'dah; (he did) 'Umrah the following year in Dhu'l-Qi'dah; and (he did) 'Umrah from Ja'raanah when he shared out the booty of Hunayn in Dhu'l-Qi'dah. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Hajj, 1654; Muslim, al-Hajj, 1253Ibn al-Qayyim said:He did 'Umrah four times after the Hijrah, four 'Umrahs, all of them in Dhu'l-Qi'dah. The first was the 'Umrah of al-Hudaybiyah, which was the first of them, in 6 AH, but the mushrikeen prevented him from reaching the House (the Ka'bah), so he offered the sacrifice (of camels) when his way was blocked at al Hudaybiyah, and he and his companions shaved their heads and exited the state of ihraam, and went back in the same year to Madeenah.The second was the Fulfilled 'Umrah in the following year, when he entered Makkah and stayed there for three (days), then he left after completing his 'Umrah.The third was the 'Umrah which he did along with his Hajj.The fourth was his 'Umrah from al-Ja'raanah, when he went out to Hunayn then he came back to Makkah and performed 'Umrah from al-Ja'raanah.He said: there is no (scholarly) dispute concerning the fact that he did no more than four 'Umrahs.See Zaad al-Ma'aad, vol. 2, p. 90-93Al-Nawawi said:The scholars said: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed these 'Umrahs in Dhu'l-Qid'ah because of the virtue of this month and in order to go against the (ways of) Jaahiliyyah, because they used to think that this (i.e., doing 'Umrah in Dhu'l-Qi'dah) was one of the most evil of evil actions, as stated above. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did that several times in this month as this was the most eloquent way of explaining that it was permissible and of demonstrating the beliefs of Jaahiliyyah to be false.And Allaah knows best.Sharh Muslim, 8/235Source: Islam Q&A (http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/21222)

What are the rules of hajj?
Hajj is one of the best acts of worship. It is one of the pillars of Islam with which Allaah sent Muhammad and without which a person's religious commitment is incomplete. Worship cannot bring a person closer to Allaah and cannot be accepted unless it meets two conditions: 1 - Sincerity towards Allaah alone, i.e., it is done to seek the Countenance of Allaah and the Hereafter, and is not done to show off, to enhance one's reputation or for worldly gain. 2 - Following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in word and deed. Following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) can only be achieving by knowing his Sunnah. Hence the one who wants to worship Allaah by doing any act of worship - Hajj or anything else - has to learn the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning it, so that his actions will be in accordance with the Sunnah. We will sum up in these few lines the description of Hajj as narrated in the Sunnah. In the answer to question no. 31819 we have already described 'Umrah - please refer to that question also. Types of Hajj There are three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan. Tamattu' means entering ihraam for 'Umrah only during the months of Hajj (the months of Hajj are Shawwaal, Dhu'l-Qi'dah and Dhu'l-Hijjah; see al-Sharh al-Mumti', 7/62). When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf and saa'i for 'Umrah, and shaves his head or cuts his hair, and exits ihraam. Then when the day of al-Tarwiyah, which is the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijjah, comes, he enters ihraam for Hajj only, and does all the actions of Hajj. So Tamattu' involves a complete 'Umrah and a complete Hajj. Ifraad means entering ihraam for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al-qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa'i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraam until he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-'Aqabah on the day of Eid. If he delays the saa'i of Hajj until after the tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that. Qiraan means entering ihraam for 'Umrah and Hajj both together. Or entering ihraam for 'Umrah first then including Hajj in that before starting the tawaaf of Hajj. That is done by intending that his tawaaf and saa'i will be for both Hajj and 'Umrah. ******************* Please refer to the added link to have a detailed explanation about the rules of Hajj. Due to the long of the description, I could not post it there. Good luck
