“Studying the Issue of Affordability in Hajj on the Viewpoint of Jurisprudential Sects (with the Emphasis on its Most Important Instances)”

Hajj is one of the important Islamic practices and obligatory in case of affordability. According to Surah Al-Imran, Verse 97, affordability means no hardship on pilgrimage and power and possibility of going to Hajj doesn’t mean affordability. There are three theories on the Hajj for affordability. Some cannot afford the pilgrimage condition and the power to reason and due to the lack of power of the evil eagle unable to afford intellectual history. In contrast, some jurists afford it and believe common sense wisdom cannot afford to take into account the proper sense. Because the purpose of affordability in the verse is rational affordability, there is no need to mention it in verse. Therefore it is believed without provision and by riding, conventional afford to come to and principles related to the individual considered dominant. The third theory believes that affordability is legal and affordability to the power that is provided in pilgrimage is a special power that it is to afford to legal interpretation. In discussing the cases afford such a gift, according to the words of Imāmīyyah Hanafiyyah, Malikiyyah and Shafeiyyah in one of his two quotes and Hanbaliyyah receiving gift is obligatory. Explaining the issues and cases of affordability taking on the Islamic sects, paves the way for approximation of Islamic sects and through explaining the theory of Imamiyyah and its reasons we can prove legitimacy the Shiite.

The thesis have described and studied Jurisprudential propositions with library data collection in a comparative manner and results in agreement of sects in many issues.
