The Ruling on Renouncing Hajj After Entering Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person has booked a group for Hajj, and then an unforeseen circumstance arises, is he obligated to perform Hajj that year, or can he postpone it to the following year, given that it is a voluntary Hajj?

Answer:
If he intends to perform Hajj but has not entered the state of ihram for it, it is permissible for him to transfer his right. However, if he has entered the state of ihram for Hajj, it is not permissible for him to transfer his right,
so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself thereinفَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:197]
meaning he has entered the state of ihram
there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajjفَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي الْحَجِّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:197]
. Yes.
