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):Sahih al-Bukhari 5089 "I want to perform Hajj, so if something prevents me, my place of exiting ihram is 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.

Intend to perform Hajj and stipulate something by saying, 'O Allah
حجي واشترطي، قولي اللهمwhere You decree that I cannot proceed.)" And whatever condition you stipulate will be accepted by your Lord."
