The obligation of Hajj on one who is given money with which to perform it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or the command comes that he does not come with the command himself, and that he does not come with the command of something.
Answer:
Yes, if he is given what he needs to perform Hajj, it becomes obligatory for him to perform Hajj, whether from his father or from someone else. If he is given money and told, "Perform Hajj with this money," he becomes able to perform it. Allah the Exalted says:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] And he has become able to perform it through the help of his father or the help of someone else, so it becomes obligatory for him to perform Hajj. However, it is not obligatory for him to ask, saying, "Give us money for Hajj" or "Lend me money so I can perform Hajj." This is not obligatory for him. But if he is given it without asking, and he is helped without asking, then he should accept it and perform Hajj, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
