Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I am thirty-five years old and I have not performed Hajj or 'Umrah yet, and my heart also longs for the 'Id sacrifice. I am residing here in Riyadh for work. Is it permissible for me to postpone the 'Umrah? And is it permissible for me to combine the 'Id sacrifice with Hajj?
Answer:
Combining the 'Id sacrifice with Hajj is permissible. However, if you are able to perform Hajj, and you have not yet performed the Hajj of Islam, then if you are financially and physically able, it is obligatory for you to hasten to perform Hajj.[Ali 'Imran 3:97] Hajj is obligatory upon the one who is able. So if you are financially and physically able to perform Hajj, and you have not yet performed the Hajj of Islam, it is obligatory for you to hasten. Yes.

وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
