Question:
The questioner says: I am a girl who has reached the age of twenty-three, and I have not performed Hajj, even though I have the means to do so. Is there a sin on me for that?

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:
And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a wayوَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
[Ali 'Imran 3:97]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained that the obligation of Hajj is once for the one who is able to perform it.
