Al-Taqlid (hajj): Difference between revisions

'''Al-Taqlīd''' (Arabic: {{ia|التقليد}}) is to hang a rope, an old shoe, or a belt on the neck of a camel, a cow, or a sheep as a sign of [[sacrifice]]. With this action, the pilgrim becomes a [[muhrim]]. This is an [[obligation]] of the pilgrim in [[Hajj al-Qiran]].

Taqlid is part of [[Hajj al-Qiran]]. The pilgrim hangs an old pair of shoes in which he said his [[prayers]] on the neck of the animal he intends to sacrifice. It should be noted that it is not permissible to say prayers in any kinds of shoes. One can only say prayers in shoes that do not cover the top of one's feet.

Some other [[fuqaha]] have said that a horseshoe or a cotton string or a leather lace can be hanged on the neck of an animal as a sign for its sacrifice.

Taqlid is a disjunctive obligation ([[al-wajib al-takhyiri]]), according to the majority of the fuqaha. In [[Hajj al-Qiran]], the pilgrim can perform [[talbiya]], [[ish'ar]], or taqlid in order to become [[muhrim]].
