Haji

Haji merupakan salah satu bentuk ibadah umat Islam selain Syahadat, salat, puasa, dan zakat.

Pengertian haji adalah berkunjung ke Baitullah untuk melakukan ibadah pada waktu dan cara tertentu bagi umat Islam yang mampu baik secara fisik maupun finansial.

Hukum ibadah haji tertulis dalam Alquran Surat Al-Imran ayat 97 yang menyebutkan bahwa melaksanakan ibadah haji ke Baitullah termasuk salah satu kewajiban manusia terhadap Allah SWT.

Ayat dalam Surat tersebut pun menyebutkan siapa yang wajib haji, yakni orang-orang yang mampu mengadakan perjalanan ke sana.
