Is a sermon delivered at the Grand Mosque on the seventh of Dhu al-Hijjah in which the preacher reminds people of the rituals that await them, and what is its ruling if it exists? If it does not exist now, did it exist in the history of Islamic Hajj? And what is the wisdom of discussing it today if it no longer exists?
Delivering a sermon on the seventh day of Dhul-Hijjah, before the Day of Tarwiyah, is legislated according to the Malikis, Shafi'is, and Hanafis. Its wisdom lies in educating the pilgrims.
The Shafi'is recommend four sermons: on the seventh day, the Day of 'Arafah, the Day of Sacrifice, and the first Day of Naf.
The Malikis and Hanafis permit three sermons: on the seventh day, the ninth day, and the second Day of Naf.
As for the Hanbalis, this sermon is not legislated according to them, though Al-Ajurri chose to perform it for the purpose of educating people.
This sermon is not delivered in the Grand Mosque nowadays, because the prevailing is the Hanbali one, and because its establishment by the Prophet (peace be upon him) is not confirmed. However, those in charge of guiding pilgrims perform what takes its place.
Ibn Kathir mentioned that Abdullah ibn Az-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) did perform it.
