There is a close connection between fasting and Hajj in the discourse of the Qur’an.
how ?
■ Fasting in a number of days – Hajj in a number of days
{O you who have believed, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may become righteous (183) a number of days, and whoever of you is sick or on a journey then a number of other days, and for those who are able to do it a ransom of feeding a poor person. Whoever volunteers good, it is better for him, and that you fast is better for you if you you know}
{And remember Allah in a numbered days. Whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin on him, and whoever delays, there is no sin on him, for those who fear Allah, and fear Allah, and know that to Him you will be gathered.}
■ In fasting (that you may become righteous) – in Hajj (and fear Allah)
{O you who have believed, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become righteous.}
{And remember Allah in a numbered days. Whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin on him, and whoever delays, there is no sin on him, for those who fear Him, and fear Allah, and know that to Him you will be gathered.} And righteousness does not mean that you come to houses from their backs, but righteousness is he who fears Allah. And they were given houses of their own and lived therein, and fear Allah that you may succeed.)
■ There is an exception in fasting (who) – There is an exception in Hajj (who)
{So whoever volunteers, it is better for him.}
{But whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin on him.}
■ In fasting (and to glorify Allah for having guided you) – in Hajj (to glorify Allah for having guided you)
{And whoever is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days. Allah desires ease for you, and does not desire hardship for you. And that you may complete the number and glorify Allah for having guided you, and that you may be grateful.}
{Neither its flesh nor its blood will reach Allah, but it will be attained by piety from you. Likewise, He has subjected it to you so that you may glorify Allah for having guided you, and give good news to the doers of good.}
■ In fasting there is ease – in Hajj there is ease
{The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance. Forkan: So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it; and whoever is sick or on a journey, let him fast a number of other days. Allah desires ease for you and does not desire hardship for you, and that you may complete the period and glorify Allah for having guided you, and that you may be grateful.}
{And complete the Hajj and the Umrah for the sake of Allah, and if you are restricted, whatever sacrificial animal is feasible of offering, and do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its place. Whoever among you is sick or has an injury to his head, then a ransom of fasting, charity, or ritual rituals. When you are secure, whoever enjoys the Umrah until the Hajj, whatever sacrificial animal is feasible of offering, and whoever does not find it, then fasting for three days. days during the Hajj and seven when you return. That is a full ten. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram. And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in punishment.}
■ There is voluntary fasting – there is voluntary Hajj
{For a number of days, and whoever of you is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days, and for those who are able to do it, a ransom must be given by feeding a poor person. But whoever volunteers good, it is better for him, and that you fast is better for you, if you only knew.}
{Indeed, Al-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes the Hajj to the House or performs the Umrah, there is no sin on him if he circumambulates them. And whoever volunteers good, then Allah is Appreciative, All-Knowing.}
■ There is a ruling for the sick in fasting – there is a ruling for the sick in Hajj
{And whoever is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days}
{So whoever of you is sick or has an ailment in the head, then he must make a ransom of fasting, or charity, or ritual rituals.}
■ There is a ransom in fasting – there is a ransom in Hajj
{And for those who are able to do it, a ransom is to feed a poor person}
{So whoever of you is sick or has an ailment in the head, then he must make a ransom of fasting, or charity, or ritual rituals.}
■ Hadith about sexual intercourse during fasting – Hadith about sexual intercourse during Hajj
{It is permissible for you on the night of fasting to have sexual intercourse with your wives}
{Hajj is one of the most well-known months, so whoever imposes Hajj on it, there is no obscenity, no immorality, and no quarreling during Hajj.}
■ There is an order (complete the fast) – there is an order (complete the Hajj)
{It is lawful for you on the night of fasting to have sexual intercourse with your women. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. Allah knows that you used to cheat yourselves, but He turned to you and pardoned you. So now associate with them and seek what Allah has ordained for you. Eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of dawn. Then complete the fast until the night and do not associate with them. While you are devoted to the mosques, these are the limits of Allah, so do not approach them. Thus Allah makes clear His signs to the people, so that they may fear.}
{And complete the Hajj and the Umrah for the sake of Allah, and if you are restricted, whatever sacrificial animal is feasible of offering, and do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its place. Whoever among you is sick or has an injury to his head, then a ransom of fasting, charity, or ritual rituals. When you are secure, whoever enjoys the Umrah until the Hajj, whatever sacrificial animal is feasible of offering, and whoever does not find it, then fasting for three days. days during the Hajj and seven when you return. That is a full ten. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram. And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in punishment.}
■ The connection of fasting with the month – The connection of Hajj with the months
{The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance. Forkan: So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it.}
{Hajj is one of the most well-known months, so whoever imposes Hajj on it, there is no obscenity, no immorality, and no quarreling during Hajj.}

{So whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when you return. That is a full ten days. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram.}
■ Fasting, there is a word [witnessed] at (the month of Ramadan) – In Hajj, there is a word [attended] at (Al-Masjid Al Haram)
The word Shahd means attended
{The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance. Forkan: So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it.}
{So whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when you return. That is a full ten days. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram.}
■ Fasting. There is talk about “mosques” in the indefinite plural form. In Hajj, there is talk about “months” in the indefinite plural form.
{Then complete the fast until nightfall, and do not interact with them while you are secluded in the mosques.}
{Hajj is one of the most well-known months, so whoever imposes Hajj on it, there is no obscenity, no immorality, and no quarreling during Hajj.}
■ In fasting, there is a hadith about (the month) in the known singular form – in Hajj there is a hadith about (Al-Masjid Al Haram) in the known singular form.
{So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it}
{So whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when you return. That is a full ten days. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram.}
■ In fasting, there is a talk about women – in Hajj, there is a talk about the family
{It is permissible for you on the night of fasting to have sexual intercourse with your wives}
{So whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when you return. That is a full ten days. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram.}
■ In fasting there is talk about the presence of women in mosques – in Hajj there is talk about the family not attending Al-Masjid Al Haram
{And do not interact with them while you are secluded in the mosques}
{So whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when you return. That is a full ten days. That is for those whose family were not present at Al-Masjid Al Haram.}
■ In fasting, there are several more days – in Hajj, there are fasting for several more days if they return.
(So whoever of you is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days.)
(Whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven when you return. That is a full ten days.)
finally
There are in Hajj rituals… The obligation of fasting
{So whoever does not find it, then fast for three days during the Hajj and seven when you return. That is a full ten.}
What is the explanation for this correlation?
I believe that the real answer to this question is the one that will explain the reasons for the revelation’s address to believers on the subject of fasting and Hajj, to glorify Allah for what He has guided them.
Why isn’t the reason… that the speech talks about the obligation of fasting, which is originally linked to the obligation of Hajj, which are two obligations that are performed in one place and at a designated time… At the mosques, the most famous, or the houses in Misr…which Allah commands us to place before Him.
(And We revealed to Musa and his brother that you should seek refuge for your people in the homes of your people, and make your homes a qiblah, and I will establish And give good tidings to the believers)
And give good news to the believers
{And whoever is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days. Allah desires ease for you and does not desire hardship for you. And that you may complete the number and glorify Allah for having guided you, and that you may be grateful.} }
And give good news to the doers of good
