Esoteric explanation of the verse: And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back
I say: Allah the Exalted has informed us of the manner of Hajj and Umrah in Surat al-Baqarah, saying: "They ask you about the new moons. Say: They are measurements of time for the people and for Hajj. And it is not righteousness that you enter houses from their backs, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allah. And enter houses through their doors and fear Allah that you may succeed..." [Quran 2:189] until His saying: "And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter..." [Quran 2:196] until His saying: "Whoever performs Umrah followed by Hajj then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. But whoever cannot find [one] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not present at the Sacred Mosque..."
"...Hajj is [during] well-known months. So whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [must refrain from] obscenity and wickedness and quarreling during Hajj..."
"...But when you depart from Arafat, remember Allah at the Sacred Waymark [Al-Mash'ar al-Haram]..."
"...Then depart from where the people depart..."
