hajj

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pilgrimage' is the definition.
(Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca)

'husband leading a pair of judges' is the wordplay.
'leading' says to take the initial letters.
'pair of judges' becomes 'jj' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'husband' is 'h'.
'h'+'a'+'jj'='HAJJ'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hajj that I've seen before include "pilgrimage"" , "religious journey" .)
