as Allah Almighty has said: ﴿لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا[1]; “Allah does not impose upon anyone an obligation but to the extent of his ability”[2], and its fast means to stop having intercourse, eating, and drinking after dawn until sunset; as Allah Almighty has said: ﴿فَالْآنَ بَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَابْتَغُوا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ۖ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ[3]; “So now you may have intercourse with them and seek what Allah has written for you. Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black thread, then fulfil the fast until nightfall.”

[Hajj]

Likewise, Allah has commanded Hajj, which is well-known rituals in well-known months in Mecca; as He has said: ﴿الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُومَاتٌ[4]; “Hajj is (in) well-known months,” and it is obligatory at least once for whoever finds a way to do it; as He has said: ﴿وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا[5]; “and pilgrimage to the House is a duty to Allah for whoever finds a way to do it”; as it is obligatory for the Caliph of Allah on the earth to prepare Mecca for pilgrims by repairing and purifying it and to call people to Hajj; as He has said: ﴿وَإِذْ بَوَّأْنَا لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ مَكَانَ الْبَيْتِ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئًا وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْقَائِمِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ ۝ وَأَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَى كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ[6]; “And when We prepared for Ibrahim the place of the House, saying: ‘Do not associate with Me anything and purify My House for those who circumambulate and those who stand and those who bow and prostrate themselves, and call people to Hajj, they will come to you on foot and riding on all sorts of lean and fast (means of transport), coming from every distant road,’” and this means that the custodianship of the House of Allah and taking care of its affairs originally belong to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and therefore, they go to his offspring as inheritance from him; as after Ibrahim (peace be upon him), they went to Ismail (peace be upon him), and Allah has said about him: ﴿وَعَهِدْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ أَنْ طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ[7]; “And We made a covenant with Ibrahim and Ismail (saying), ‘Purify My House for those who circumambulate and those who stay for worship and those who bow and those who prostrate themselves,’”

↑[2] . The saying of His Honor, may Allah protect him, that paying the ransom is not obligatory for those who are not able to fast, is the saying of Malik, Abu Thur, Makhul, and others, and the reason for it is that the obligation to pay the ransom is contingent on the obligation to fast, and elsewhere, he has considered paying the ransom recommended for those who are not able to fast.
