The obligation of Hajj on one who needs a car to serve his mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh, may Allah reward him with Paradise, is seventeen years old. He says, may Allah keep you safe, my father, regarding Hajj, but is Hajj obligatory for me because I need a car to buy to serve my mother, since my father is dead? He says, is Hajj obligatory for me, or is Hajj not obligatory for me now? Does he have money?
The Shaykh:
The one who is obligated to perform Hajj is the one who is almost able to perform it, even if by hiring a vehicle. It is not required that he buy a car; it is sufficient that he is able to perform Hajj, and then Hajj is obligatory on him, even if by hiring. Rather, the condition is that he buys something to give in it.
The questioner:
We have returned.
The Shaykh:
If he returns from Hajj, he is to be bled from the one who owns the peace.
