Question:
The first question says: Honorable Shaykh, we love you for the sake of Allah and we ask Allah to reward you with good for us. The question is: If a person is able to perform Hajj but does not, and he has reached maturity, does he commit a sin?
Answer:
Yes, he commits a sin. He must hasten to perform Hajj and seek Allah’s forgiveness for the delay, because when he becomes able, it is obligatory for him to perform Hajj immediately, so it is not permissible for him to delay it. Yes.
