What is the ruling on schools in Mecca organizing educational trips for children to perform Hajj, which include dressing them in Ihram, accompanying them to the holy sites, and performing the Talbiyah, all on a school day in Dhul-Qa’dah?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, adopted multiple methods for teaching the Companions, including teaching with illustrative diagrams, such as explaining "Ajal" (term of life), "Amal" (hopes), and afflictions. He also used practical teaching, as he did when he prayed on the minbar to teach them prayer. Similarly, Uthman ibn Affan, Malik ibn al-Huwayrith, and Uqbah ibn Amr practically taught ablution and prayer. These actions were not mere educational movements; rather, they were true acts of worship.

It is permissible for a teacher to explain practical acts of worship, even if he does not perform them as worship and an act of proximity [to God], such as teaching the adhan (definition) or delivering a sermon. It is permissible to teach the rituals of Hajj practically in their real locations, such as how to wear the ihram (definition), stand at Arafat, and stay overnight at Muzdalifah, without requiring the learners to be actually in a state of ihram. Similarly, it is permissible to teach children prayer practically without ablution or facing the Qibla (definition). The teaching of Hajj is broader than that of prayer; thus, it is not necessary for the "mutawwif" (guide for Hajj rituals) to be in a state of ihram to teach the rituals.

Many scholars have prohibited making a model of the Kaaba to circumambulate around for teaching purposes, but teaching the rituals in their actual locations is permissible.
