The hadith regarding the obligation of Hajj after five years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a hadith that makes Hajj obligatory after five years, or in this sense, for someone who has already performed the obligatory pilgrimage?
Answer:
This is a regulation, a system for organizing the people and preventing overcrowding. Otherwise, Hajj has no fixed limit—whether it is every year, after 100 years, or after 20 years, none of these contradict the ruling. This is merely an organization of the people to avoid congestion and danger; it is for the sake of public benefit. Yes.
