Topic: Referring to Hajj Performed on Friday as “Hajj e Akbar”   (No-15947)

People refer to Hajj performed on Friday as “Hajj e Akbar” in comparison to the Hajj performed on other days. The question is, how appropriate is it to call the Hajj performed on Friday "Hajj e Akbar"?

Although several reputable books mention that the Hajj performed on Friday is 70 times better in terms of reward than the Hajj performed on a regular day, but it is not valid or accurate to call the Hajj performed on Friday "Hajj e Akbar".
