Question:
This is a man who is sixty years old, has been transferred to retirement, and he is wealthy, and he is the father of children, and he has not fulfilled his obligation of Hajj until now, and he is among a group, and with the Muslims,
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to fear Allah, and to hasten to perform Hajj. This is obligatory. Abandoning Hajj while having the ability is a great sin. It is obligatory for the Muslim to hasten to perform Hajj when he is able, once in a lifetime. Hajj is once in a lifetime. And it is obligatory for his relatives and brothers to advise him, and to urge him to hasten. We ask Allah for praise for us and for him.
