What does HAJ mean in Scrabble?
noun
The pilgrimage to Mecca that Muslims are expected to make once in a lifetime.
The haj falls in a fixed month of the lunar calendar, so it moves through the seasons and can land in the worst of the heat. It is one of the five pillars of Islam and is required of those who can afford it and are well enough to go — a condition, not a formality. English spells it haj, hajj and hadj, and all three appear in print.
