No Hajj for the one who is unable, nor for the one who cannot afford it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, in his question: O Shaykh, regarding the father, he cannot perform Hajj financially or physically, is that with you, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He cannot perform Hajj physically or financially.
The Shaykh : Meaning he has no money.
The questioner : He has no money, and his health is such that even if he had money, he could not perform Hajj.
The Shaykh : Give him good news, give him good news, and give yourself good news.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : He has no Hajj obligation upon him.
The questioner : Okay, can I put...
The Shaykh : It is only obligatory upon the one who is able.
The questioner : Well, let me go back.
The Shaykh : Zakah is not obligatory upon the poor, likewise Hajj is not obligatory upon the one who is unable, and let him praise Allah for his well-being.
The presenter : In the name of Allah, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : And let him not worry, and let him not feel distressed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And when he meets his Lord, he will meet his Lord with his Islam not deficient.
The questioner : Thank you. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf, O Shaykh? I am here in Saudi Arabia, can I perform Hajj on his behalf?
The Shaykh : You have delayed the obligation from yourself.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, yes.
The Shaykh : By Allah, if you perform Hajj, I have something in my heart because the father is not currently obligated to perform Hajj. The woman who asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "My father has reached the age of the obligation of Allah upon His servants in Hajj," but the man was not obligated. So if your self urges you to perform Hajj on his behalf, then perform Hajj on his behalf, and we ask Allah to accept it. Your father, in the knowledge of Hajj, has no Hajj upon him at all.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Meaning, he is, if Allah wills, not sinful before Allah.
The presenter : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
