Question
What is Hajj-e-Akbar? Is it Hajj Akbar if Hajj is on a Friday?
Answer
It is the understanding of the masses that Hajj Akbar refers to Hajj on a Friday. However, this is not a Shar'i designation. Every Hajj is Hajj Akbar relative to Umrah regardless of the Hajj being on any day. However, there is greater significance if the Hajj occurs on a Friday. The Hajj of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was on a Friday.
