The National Hajj Muzakarah, organized by Tabung Haji (TH), serves as a crucial platform to discuss contemporary issues related to the performance of Hajj. However, some resolutions issued, particularly concerning the timing of jamrah stoning, have faced criticism from scholars. This article aims to analyze the approaches used by Tabung Haji in formulating Muzakarah resolutions and to examine the key factors influencing these decisions. This study adopts a qualitative methodology by analyzing documents such as Muzakarah working papers, meeting reports of the Hajj Advisory Committee, as well as relevant journal articles and theses. The findings reveal that the Muzakarah resolutions are significantly influenced by adherence to the Shafi'i school of thought, while also integrating key principles such as mashaqqah (mitigating hardship), darurah (necessity), and maslahah ‘ammah (public interest). In specific situations, alternative opinions or reliance on other schools of thought are also considered to ensure that the performance of Hajj meets contemporary needs without compromising its validity according to Islamic law.
