The Ruling on Repeating Hajj Every Year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is it recommended that I perform Hajj every year if I desire to do so and it does not burden me, or is it better to do so after a period of time? And is performing Hajj once sufficient for a lifetime?
Answer:
The obligatory Hajj is sufficient if performed once, for the one who is able to afford it. As for the voluntary Hajj, there is no limit to it, so if you perform it every year, that is an increase in good. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 2630Hasan (Darussalam), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "From one 'Umrah to the next, and Ramadan Sahih Muslim 1349a." However, in recent years, due to the crowds and dangers...
So a person finds among the many good deeds what is sufficient instead of Hajj, given the crowds and the dangers. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is the regulatory one: the state has set a limit on the number of pilgrims, and one must obtain the permit and authorization; one does not perform Hajj without authorization, without a permit, because he exposes himself to liability. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

تابعوا بين الحج والعمرةAn Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next, and Hajj which is accepted will receive no other reward than Paradise.
العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما، والحج المبرور ليس له جزاء إلا الجنةSo a person finds among the many good deeds what is sufficient instead of Hajj, given the crowds and the dangers.
