Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on delaying Hajj for a person who is able to perform it?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to delay the obligatory act if he has the provisions and the means of transport, for he must hasten to perform the obligation and not delay it. Indeed, Hajj is to be performed immediately, as the scholars stated that it is obligatory for him to perform Hajj immediately, because he does not know what may befall him in the future. This is an obligation and a pillar of Islam. Yes.
