| | According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road.

| The Quran considers the objective behind legislating Hajj as the attainment of human consciousness towards God (taqwa).{{enote|﴿الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُوماتٌ… َ تَزَوَّدُوا فَإِنَّ خَیرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوی وَ اتَّقُونِ یا أُولِی الْأَلْباب﴾

Quran: 2: 197}} This goal is also referenced in two other verses.<ref>Quran: 2: 189,196; 5:96.</ref> Moreover, in various hadiths, the emphasis is placed on maintaining taqwa from the moment of assuming the state of [[Ihram]] until the completion of the [[Rites of Hajj al-Tamattu'|rituals]].<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 338; Ṭūsī,''Tahdhīb al-aḥkām'', vol. 5, p. 296.</ref>

| | According to another narration, the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood in ṣalāh (prayer) at this place and wept during the prayer The Prophet explained that he wept because one of his descendants would be martyred at this place.(15) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 366-367. |

| The most important symbol of avoiding both Jinn and human devils in Hajj is the ritual of ([[Ramy al-Jamarat|Ramy]])stoning the pillars.<ref>Shahīd al-Thānī, ''Al-Rawḍa al-bahiyya'', vol. 2, p. 281-282.</ref> Some traditions consider the "casting out impurity" in the verse ﴿ثُمَّ لۡیَقۡضُواْ تَفَثَهُمۡ وَلۡیُوفُواْ نُذُورَهُمۡ وَلۡیَطَّوَّفُواْ بِٱلۡبَیۡتِ ٱلۡعَتِیقِ﴾ {{enote|Let them then finish with their self¡neglect and let them fulfil their vows, and go about the Ancient House}}as an example of [[Ramy al-Jamarat]]. In the initial verses of Surah At-Tawba, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was commanded to disassociate from polytheists in Hajj,{{enote|وَأَذَٰنٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَجِّ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَۙ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ فَإِن تُبۡتُمۡ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ(A proclamation, from God and His Messenger, unto mankind on the day of the Greater Pilgrimage: God is quit, and His Messenger, of the idolaters So if you repent, that will be better for you but if you turn your backs, know that you cannot frustrate the Will of God And give thou good tidings to the unbelievers of a painful chastisement.

| | Also, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), while passing through this place, foretold the martyrdom of one of his Ahl al-Bayt at this location.(16) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 367. , Muḥaddith Qumī, ''Muntahā al-Āmāl'', vol. 1, p. 261. |

| The Quran, in the verse "جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْکعْبَةَ الْبَیتَ الْحَرامَ قِیاماً لِلنَّاسِ" {{enote|Allah has made the Kaaba, the Sacred House, a means of maintaining the people's safety(Quran: 5:97)}}, emphasizes that [[Ka'ba]] is a source of stability for humanity. Some interpreters believe it implies the preservation and protection of humans from dangers,<ref>Ṭūsī, ''Al-Tibyān'', vol. 4, p. 31.</ref> suggesting that people will face destruction by abandoning Hajj.<ref>Ṭabrisī, ''Majmaʿ al-bayān'', vol. 3, p. 424; Ālūsī, ''Rūḥ al-maʿānī'', vol. 7, p. 35.</ref> This point is also mentioned in the narrations of the Ahlul Bayt (AS).<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 271; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 21.</ref>In a narration, Imam Sadiq (AS) considers Hajj-Pilgrimages the cause of prolonging the lives of those who abandon Hajj.<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 2, p. 451; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 1, p. 28.</ref> In other traditions, the intention to perform [[Hajj]] repeatedly is said to add to one's lifespan and the frequent performance of Hajj is considered a deterrent against sudden death.<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 261; Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 220.</ref>

| ==Learning Religious Knowledge and Spreading Hadith==
| | Sheikh Tusi, in his book Rijāl, considered Ṣāḥib al-Fakh to be among the companions of Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him(17) Ṭūsī, '' Rijāl al-Ṭūsī'', p. 489. |
|
| |
|
| Imam Reza (AS) considers one of the goals of Hajj to be learning religious knowledge, conveying the words of the Imams (AS), and disseminating them in both Islamic and non-Islamic lands.<ref>Ṣadūq, ''ʿIlal al-sharāʾiʿ'', vol. 1, p. 273; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 13.</ref> In another hadith, becoming familiar with the works and traditions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is counted among the objectives of Hajj.<ref>Ṣadūq, ''ʿIlal al-sharāʾiʿ'', vol. 2, p. 406; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 15.</ref> | | It is narrated that Imam Musa al-Kāẓim (peace be upon him) honored the Martyr of Fakh(18) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 380. |

|
| ==Testing the Servants==
| | Miqāt for Children |
|
| |
|
| According to a hadith from Imam Ali (AS), the rituals of Hajj are considered a challenging test. By placing the Kaaba in a harsh and difficult land, the pilgrims face numerous hardships.<ref>''Nahj al-balāgha'', kh, 192; Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 199.</ref> Imam Sadiq (AS) sees the purpose of testing Hajj pilgrims as revealing the extent of their obedience to Allah.<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 198; Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 250.</ref> | | According to Shia jurists, based on narrations, Fakh is considered the miqāt (designated station for entering ihrām) for children.(19) Rūḥānī, '' al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā '', vol. 2, p. 28. |
| | In a narration, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), in response to the question of where the sewn garments of children could be removed [and where they could be made to enter ihrām], said: “My father, Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir (peace be upon him), would remove the children’s garments at Fakh and make them enter ihrām.”(20) Kulaynī, '' al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 303. , Shaykh Ṣadūq, '' Man Lā Yaḥḍuruhu al-Faqīh'' , vol. 2, p. 433. |
| | Some jurists believe that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the five designated miqāts on their behalf—by intending on their behalf and reciting the Talbiyah—but the act of removing the child’s garments and putting on the ihrām can be delayed until reaching Fakh.(21) Anṣārī, '' Maʿālim al-Dīn fī Fiqh Āl Yāsīn '' ,vol. 1, p. 230. , Rūḥānī, '' al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā '', vol. 2, p. 28. |
|
| |
|
| ==Worldly Benefits==
| | Most Shia jurists believe that the actual ihrām for children can be performed from Fakh, serving as their designated miqāt.(22) Anṣārī, '' Mawsūʿat Aḥkām al-Aṭfāl wa Adillatuhā'' , vol. 5, p. 282. |
| | Of course, this applies to cases other than Ḥajj al-Tamattu |
|
| |
|
| Based on hadiths, the term "منافع" (benefits) in the verse "وَ أَذِّن فی النَّاسِ بِالحْجّ… لِّّیشْهَدُواْ مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ" encompasses not only spiritual but also material benefits,<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 422; Ṭūsī, ''Tahdhīb al-aḥkām'', vol. 5, p. 122.</ref> such as the financial gains of transportation providers<ref>Ṣadūq, ''ʿIlal al-sharāʾiʿ'', vol. 2, p. 406; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 14.</ref> and sellers of goods, pilgrims or others.<ref>Ṣadūq, ''ʿIlal al-sharāʾiʿ'', vol. 1, p. 273; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 13.</ref> Among these material benefits is the distribution of sacrificial meat to Hajj pilgrims and the poor.<ref>Quran: 22: 28; 36.</ref> According to narrations, Hajj leads to the financial well-being of pilgrims,<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 265; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 12.</ref> meeting the needs of their families,<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 252; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 9.</ref> Eliminate poverty,<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 222; Ṭūsī, ''Tahdhīb al-aḥkām'', vol. 5, p. 21.</ref> bankruptcy<ref>Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 108; Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 96, p. 12.</ref> and maintaining health.<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 252; Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 11, p. 252.</ref>
| | Some contemporary jurists, such as Muhammad-Taqi Bahjat, hold that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the well-known miqāts and may delay the removal of the sewn garments and putting on the ihrām until reaching Fakh.(23) Iftikhārī Golpāygānī, '' Ārāʾ al-Marājiʿ fī al-Ḥajj ʿalā Ḍawʾ Fatāwā al-Imām al-Khomeynī. '', vol. 1, p. 34. |
| | Sunni jurists are either opposed to this or remain silent on the matter. However, some of them say that there is no problem in delaying the ihrām of a child until reaching the Ḥaram (the Sacred Mosque) or near it(24) Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr al-Qurṭubī, '' al-Kāfī fī Fiqh Ahl al-Madīnah '',vol. 1, p. 411. |
