Abstract :

The massive annual gathering of Muslims from all over the world to perform the Hajj is the largest religious ceremony in the world. There is not much knowledge about its origin, but it has affected human life on a large scale. Due to the necessity of Hajj and the importance of not leaving the Kaaba empty of pilgrims, the ruling on the existence or provision of a means as a condition for the obligation of Hajj is not very clear for the obligees. This has been the case; therefore, the study of "Analysis of the explanation of the global corona epidemic and its effect on the Hajj with a jurisprudential approach" which is an emerging disease is an issue that needs to be explored until a worthwhile response stage. Lack of security in the field of health in the land of revelation and the path leading to it to perform Hajj rituals, will make the obligated people unable to afford it and ultimately Hajj will not be obligatory for them.
