Comparing the Merits of Performing Hajj Frequently and Giving Charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is better: performing Hajj frequently for one who has already fulfilled the obligatory Hajj, or giving the cost of Hajj as charity in the cause of Allah and in charitable projects?
Answer:
Both are good. This and that depend on what is made easy. It is difficult to determine which is preferred, but one should do what he is able to do, whether this or that. If Hajj is made easy for him, he performs Hajj. If he sees the benefit in giving charity to the poor, he gives it to the poor. He does what seems more likely to be correct in his heart, and he is on the right path, if Allah wills.
