The ruling on delaying Hajj due to the inability to secure accommodation in Mina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah answer you. If accommodation in Mina is not available except for a fee, does that mean I can stay in any place in Makkah?
Answer:
First of all, if the matter is difficult and involves high fees, and you do not have the means, do not worry. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[Ali 'Imran 3:97]. If you are unable to pay the fee, you are not considered able to perform Hajj in this year. You do not have to perform Hajj until accommodation in Mina becomes available for you. You delay it, and the obligation of Hajj remains on you until an opportunity arises for you to perform Hajj and stay in Mina. However, if it is proven that you can afford the concession...
...and you are safe from paying any money, this is not permissible for you. Even if you pay some money to stay in Mina, this is a creation [of obligation] upon you, and you are rewarded for it.

for whoever is able to find thereto a way
مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا...and you are safe from paying any money, this is not permissible for you. Even if you pay some money to stay in Mina, this is a creation [of obligation] upon you, and you are rewarded for it.
