Voluntary Hajj Amidst Crowds and Giving Money to Those Who Have Not Performed Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, can it be said that it is better for the one who has performed the voluntary Hajj not to perform it, or is it not?
The Shaykh:
And we have explained the Hajj and we have explained tawhid (the oneness of Allah).
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, can it be said that it is better for the one who has performed the obligatory Hajj not to perform a second one because of the crowds, but rather to give money to someone who has not performed Hajj so that he may perform it?
The Shaykh:
If he finds someone who has not performed Hajj, it is better for him to give him money to perform Hajj. In fact, if he finds people in need, among them are the poor and the hungry, then feeding them is better than performing Hajj.
