			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Welcome Salama, brother. My question is regarding Hajj,
can a person who has not yet performed Hajj do * Buddle or not? What is such a bother? And the
second question is posed by a non Muslim regarding the rituals in the Hajj. When we throw stones,
what is the relevance of that? And does in any way schatten get affected by those stones or not? I
mean, this was one of the thing and in that act, there are lots of people who die. I mean, what is
the answer to that, as well as the first part of the question that a person who has not performed
HUD, and since * Firth, Canada hajipur, the first question, the second question is that when we
		
00:00:37 --> 00:01:01
			stone the gym rat, does the Satan does it ever get hurt and don't people get killed? So what is the
reason? I find the first question is concerned, the kind of person who has not done much damage but
no, cannot do? Hardly bother me is doing it on behalf of somebody else. Maybe the person is alive,
he may be sick. He physically cannot perform all the rituals of Hutch. So surely he can say that
here. I'm giving you money.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:26
			Just because I'm physically not fit. I'm asking somebody else to go. As far second part of the
question is concerned that when we stone The jamara does the devil get hurt. So you have to realize
that when we stone the jamara It is not that physically, they're causing damage to the Satan, it is
symbolic. That means we are against the devil.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:57
			That is there. And we know that the devil always strive to take it on the wrong path. So when we are
stoning the jamara we actually symbolically agreeing that we are against the devil, and we want to
fight against him because he's an avowed enemy to us. As far as the last part is concerned that
while touring the jamara many people that settle that is the reason the government is making
facilities. The government is giving more facilities where people can stone and yet there may not be
a stampede, etc. But if analyzed whether previously when people used to go for Hajj,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:14
			maybe 50 years back 100 years back 200 years back, more people used to die as compared to today.
Today, about two and a half million perform Hajj every year, on average, two and a half million
people perform Hajj every year, previously,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:30
			it was less than a million. If you go back more, it was less than 100,000 people yet when we went
for Hajj, in India, we have to go by ship, we will take manage to do Hajj now you can go further and
come back every six days 10
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:45
			minimum even less than that, on average, they take two weeks to three weeks so that they want to go
to Medina etc. and stay in Macau for longer period. But the minimum requirement can be done in a few
days previously take months. And whenever people go find this to meet the realtors,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:21
			and there was an understanding maybe we will not return back. Maybe chances not that they won't
return for sure, but chances are they were the 20% they will not return back 30% or 40 But whatever
it is, but now if we analyze the two and a half million people going and the total number of people
dying for whatever reason, it is point 00 1% it will be less than point 1%. So compared to before,
now the facilities are much better. As far as the toilets are there Mashallah. It is very hygienic
compared to before, but now, we don't want even a single person to die.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:04:03
			To have any one person who also dies for any reason because of overcrowding or stoning the jamara.
The government of Saudi Arabia is trying its best to curtail it. And when non Muslim experts when
they hear about the facility that the government is giving, they say it is impossible. Logically and
scientifically. It is impossible that two and a half million people are gathering together in
arafat, Mena and performing the rituals without hundreds of 1000s of people dying, they say it's
impossible yet hamdulillah we see that every year has been performed. There have been occasions
where there was some fire took place and fewer people expired, there was a tunnel that caved in, but
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			if we see the percentage, it is very negligible.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:26
			So even in Jabra, now the government made a flyover and I've extended the genre so that you can
stone from the ground floor as well a first level now a second level has come and more will keep on
coming. So they're trying their level best and see to it that people come and do what is required in
the religion without being hurt.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:05:00
			And when people go there they see millions of people gather together people desktop in two pieces of
unsold cloth preferably right? They we see the real brotherhood. People from America, Canada, UK,
Singapore, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, UAE Gulf countries, their desktop in two pieces of unshown
might never be you cannot identify the person standing next to you is a king or a papa. Whether rich
or poor, all look similar. So you only get the universal brotherhood and power
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Demonstrate. So we perform hedge because it's one of the pillars of Islam. It's the first the
command line tool.
