This session focused on the concept of concessions, which means facilitation, as there are many types of concessions.
These include those related to Ihram, such as the permissibility of assuming Ihram before reaching the Miqat if one fears missing it.
Additionally, there are concessions related to Tawaf and Saee, the permissibility of combining the stoning (Jamarat) ritual on one day during the last days of Tashreeq f
