وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال‏:‏ كانت عكاظ ومجنة، وذو المجاز أسواقًا في الجاهلية، فتأثموا أن يتجروا في المواسم، فنزلت‏:‏ ‏{‏ليس عليكم جناح أن تبتغوا فضلا من ربكم‏}‏ ‏(‏‏(‏البقرة‏:‏ 198‏)‏‏)‏ في مواسم الحج‏.‏‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Explanation

These were marketplaces of the polytheists, where they traded during the days of Hajj. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) worried that they would incur a sin if they traded in such places during the days of Hajj. So, Allah revealed this verse to show them that trading in the Hajj season does not invalidate Hajj, especially when the rites are performed as prescribed. Trading during Hajj is allowed. However, it is better to devote oneself to performing the rites of Hajj.

Explanation in Arabic

كانت هذه الأماكن أسواقاً للمشركين من قبل الإسلام يُتَاجِرُون فيها في أيام الحج، فخاف الصحابة رضي الله عنهم أن يأثموا إذا تَاجَرُوا فيها في أيام الحج، فأنزل الله هذه الآية ليُبَيِّنَ لهم أنَّ التجارة في موسم الحج لا تُفْسِدُهُ مع أداء النسك على الوجه الشرعي، على أنَّ التجارة في الحج جائزةٌ، لكنَّ الأولى والأحسن التفرغ لأداء نسك الحج، فهذا هو الأفضل.

  • جَوَازُ التِّجَارة في مَوْسِمِ الحجِّ، وأنها لا تُفْسِدُهُ.
  • أسواق الجاهلية لا تمنع من فعل المباح أو فعل الطاعة فيها.
  • حِرْصُ الصَّحَابة -رضي الله عنهم- على مجانبة الإثم.
