The Holy Quran 2:198 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَبْتَغُوا۟ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۚ فَإِذَآ أَفَضْتُم مِّنْ عَرَفَـٰتٍ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عِندَ ٱلْمَشْعَرِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۖ وَٱذْكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَإِن كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Translation

(Declaring the permissibility of trade during Hajj, Allaah says) There shall be no sin upon you (no decrease in reward) should you seek the bounty (your livelihood) from your Rabb (one will not be sinful for engaging in trade during the days of Hajj). When you leave Arafaat, then remember Allaah at the Mash'arul Haraam ("The Sacred Monument"- referring to Muzdalifa). Remember Him as He had guided you (to the Deen of Islaam without any pagan traits and to understand the rites of Hajj), for before this you were astray (unaware of the Deen and the rites of Hajj).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Permission to trade during Hajj: if on the journey of Hajj you also engage in trade, there is no sin in it; rather, it is mubah (permissible). People had a doubt that perhaps trading might harm the Hajj. Now, one whose real aim is Hajj and who also trades along with it, his reward will not be diminished.
