Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If a person has performed the obligatory Hajj, is it better for him to repeat it as a voluntary act, or to help the needy, the poor, and the destitute?
Answer:
It is better to help those in need and those who are poor if there are such people, because the benefit of voluntary Hajj is limited to its performer, whereas the benefit of charity and kindness extends to others. A righteous deed whose benefit extends to others is better than a righteous deed whose benefit is limited to its performer. Yes.
