The questioner:
Allah, what has been reported from some of the Companions is their saying: Whoever dies without performing Hajj, there is no blame on him if he dies a Christian or a Jew.
The Shaykh:
If he was able to perform Hajj. This is from the category of warnings. It is narrated from 'Umar. Ghazala said: He was ordered to look into the affairs of the Muslims, and whoever was able to perform Hajj but did not, there is no blame on him if he dies a Jew or a Christian. This is from the category of warning and intimidation.
The questioner:
With 'Umar, is this? On your face.

It was transmitted from 'Umar and from 'Ali. From 'Ali and from 'Umar, all of it.
