Commentary
There is difference of opinion in the explanation of Al-Hajj Al-Akbar. Most of the scholars say that Al-Hajj Al-Akbar means Al-Hajj and Umrah is call Al-Hajj Al-Asghar. The Day of An-Nahr is named Al-Hajj Al-Akbar because many of the Hajj segments are performed on this day like, a) stoning the Jamrah. b) shaving the head or cutting the hair. c) sacrifice of the animal and d) Tawāf Al-Ifādah. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī v. 2 p. 122.)
