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.
