Question:
I am hesitant about performing the obligatory Hajj. I have performed Hajj many times, praise be to Allah, but the one in authority has scheduled Hajj every five years. So, should I perform Hajj or not?
Answer:
Do not oppose the system; do not oppose the system of the one in authority, because it is for the benefit of the people and to reduce the congestion on the people. You are a pilgrim who has performed several Hajj pilgrimages. If you are keen on doing good, perhaps you do not need to go, and you can give charity to your neighbors or to those in need with the cost of the Hajj. Perhaps this is better than the voluntary Hajj. Yes.
