Making up an invalid Hajj and delaying it until the following year

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory to make up the Hajj from the following year? And does he commit a sin if he delays it past its time? And does he owe any fidyah (ransom payment) as well for the delay?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to delay it until the following year except for an excuse that prevents him from doing so; in that case, there is no harm. However, if he is able to perform Hajj, he should hasten to make it up, and it is not permissible for him to delay it. But if he does delay it, he does not owe a fidyah. If he delays it without an excuse, he commits a sin, but he does not owe a fidyah. Yes.
