Abstract

Hajj and Umrah were examined as forms of Islamic worship in which legal, spiritual, social, and contemporary institutional dimensions intersected. This study investigated their legal foundations, conditions of obligation, pillars, essential duties, procedures, and selected contemporary issues from an Islamic jurisprudential perspective. A qualitative library-research design with descriptive, analytical, and comparative approaches was employed. The analysis drew on the Qur'an, hadith, authoritative fiqh works, official pilgrimage guidance, Indonesian regulations, and traceable peer-reviewed studies, particularly recent literature on pilgrimage management and health-related istitha'ah. The findings showed that the obligation of Hajj for Muslims possessing istitha'ah was established by consensus, whereas the legal status of Umrah remained subject to recognized juristic disagreement. Contemporary issues involving proxy Hajj, women's travel without a mahram, health eligibility, and pilgrimage governance required an integration of classical legal reasoning, considerations of safety and welfare, and modern institutional evidence. The study demonstrated that combining doctrinal fiqh, cross-madhhab comparison, and verifiable contemporary sources produced a more precise and context-sensitive account of Hajj and Umrah
