Q. Is it Fardh, Waajib or Sunnat to go from house to house to greet relatives and friends before going for Hajj?
A. It is not Fardh nor Waajib nor Sunnat to go from house to house to greet family members when about to proceed for Hajj. This is a mere custom which is practiced for show. However, if you are not on good terms with anyone, then restore good ties. It is not necessary to go to the person’s house.
Telephonic conversation will suffice.
Q. Is it necessary to invite people for tea/meals before going for Hajj?
A. It is not permissible to invite people for tea/meals before leaving for Hajj. This too is another nonsensical custom of show
