The Condition in Hajj in Case of Fear of Being Prevented

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: Is it obligatory for the pilgrim to intend the condition of being prevented? Perhaps he may encounter certain situations?

Answer:
If he has symptoms that he fears may worsen, such as having some illness that he fears will increase, or having a heart condition that he fears will worsen and prevent him from performing Hajj, then he should make the condition, as came in the hadith that 'Atikah bint 'Abd al-Muttalib complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I want to perform Hajj, but I find myself unwell." He said to her (peace and blessings be upon him):
Intend to perform Hajj and stipulate something by saying, 'O Allahحجي واشترطي، قولي اللهم
Sahih al-Bukhari 5089
"I want to perform Hajj, so if something prevents me, my place of exiting ihram is
where You decree that I cannot proceed.)" And whatever condition you stipulate will be accepted by your Lord."حَيْثُ تَحْبِسُنِي فَإِنَّ لَكِ عَلَى رَبِّكِ مَا اسْتَثْنَيْتِ
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2766Hasan (Darussalam)
." As for if a person is healthy and free from illness, he should have good opinion of Allah the Exalted and not make the condition; because the Companions did not make the condition except for this woman, because she was ill and feared that her illness would worsen. Yes.
