Facilitation.
The questioner:
The criterion for facilitation in Hajj.
The Shaykh:
The journey in Hajj is made easy, and all praise is due to Allah. Every aspect of the Islamic Shari'ah is made easy.[Al-Qamar 54:17] For how long? Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has made it easy and facilitated it. This religion, this moderate way of our father Ibrahim (peace be upon him), is the one to which Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said to him: [Al-Hajj 22:27] Men, meaning those walking on foot, and on every lean camel, meaning those riding, so they come to this Hajj on foot and on mount to witness benefits for them. [Al-Hajj 22:34] In a few counted days [Al-Hajj 22:34]. So this religion, and all praise is due to Allah, since Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with it, and it is the way of our father Ibrahim (peace be upon him), has remained preserved by the preservation of Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: [Al-Hijr 15:9] So praise be to Allah; this religion is preserved by the preservation of Allah. But if we neglect this religion, Allah will replace us with others who will preserve it. [Muhammad 47:38] So it is obligatory for us to hold fast to this religion in the manner prescribed by Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and to convey it to the people. We do not limit it to ourselves or to our countries, but we convey it to the people, because this religion is for the people, not exclusively for us; it is for the people. Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, said to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) when He sent him: He said to Him, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala: And Allah said to him, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala: "Convey," meaning convey this religion, as He said, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala: [Al-Anbya 21:107]. So it is a mercy for the worlds, for whoever holds fast to it and acts upon it, without regard to his country, nationality, or language. It is a universal religion. [Al-A'raf 7:158]. [Al-A'raf 7:158].

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنAnd proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel
وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍthat they may mention the name of Allah
لِّيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِover what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. For your god is one God, so to Him submit. And, [O Muhammad], give good tidings to the humble [before their Lord]
عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّن بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ فَإِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَلَهُ أَسْلِمُوا وَبَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِينَIndeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَAnd if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.
وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمAnd We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَSay, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death."
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُSo believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.
فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَThe presenter:
Glory be to Allah.
