Wajib(وَاجِب) Wajib is a necessary religious duty in Islam. In হজ্জ, Wajib acts are required rites that, if missed without valid excuse, require a Dam (penalty sacrifice) but do not invalidate the হজ্জ itself.
وَاجِب
The classification of Wajib varies among the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. In the Hanafi school, Wajib occupies a distinct category between Fard (absolutely ওয়াজিব, based on definitive কুরআনic evidence) and Sunnah (মুস্তাহাব). Missing a Wajib is sinful and requires compensation through Dam, but it does not invalidate the হজ্জ. The Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools generally treat Wajib as synonymous with Fard, though they distinguish between Arkan (pillars that cannot be compensated) and Wajibat (obligations that can be compensated with sacrifice). The Wajib acts of হজ্জ include: standing at আরাফাত until sunset, staying overnight at মুযদালিফা (Mabit), staying overnight at মিনা during the Days of Tashreeq, stoning the জামারাত (Rami), shaving or trimming the hair (Halq/Taqsir), and performing তাওয়াফ al-Wida (farewell তাওয়াফ). If a হাজী misses any of these without a valid Shariah excuse, they must offer a Dam (sacrificing a sheep or goat) to compensate.
