Which is better: voluntary Hajj or charity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q1: I inform you that I have performed Hajj several times, as have my sons. This year, I am hesitating whether to perform Hajj with my sons or to spend the cost of Hajj on printing books about Islam, its teachings, and its leniency in several languages; to be distributed in communities that need those books and know nothing about Islam. What is better in your opinion?
A1 : Choose between the work you mentioned of printing beneficial books and distributing them, and voluntary Hajj. However, printing beneficial books is better; because its benefit extends to others, whereas the benefit of Hajj is limited to you. And Allah knows best.
