The Meaning of What Is Narrated About the One Who Dies Without Performing Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it authentic that it is narrated that the one who dies without performing Hajj is said to have died a Jew or a Christian?
Answer:
No. Some reports are narrated from 'Ali regarding this, but it is not authentic in this hadith from the Prophet. This statement is narrated from 'Ali, but I do not know of a chain of narration for it. It is only a matter of emphasis, a matter of warning. It is also narrated from 'Umar that he said, "I was on the verge of ordering that the jizyah be imposed on people, that the jizyah be imposed on whoever is able to perform Hajj but does not." All of this is a matter of warning and prohibition, if it were authentic, and that abandoning Hajj would constitute disbelief. Abandoning Hajj is a sin, abandoning zakah is a sin, abandoning fasting is a sin. As for abandoning the prayer, that is disbelief. We ask Allah for safety. As for abandoning zakah, or fasting, or Hajj, it is a great sin, and one of the major sins, and its perpetrator is in danger of entering the Fire, unless he repents.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us, as Allah clarified in His Book, that the one who delays zakah and does not pay it will be punished with his wealth on the Day of Resurrection. It will be heated in the Fire of Hell, and he will be branded with it. So the owner of wealth, if he does not pay the zakah, will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection. Then he will see his path, either to Paradise or to the Fire. Likewise, the one who abandons fasting while able, or Hajj while able, is in danger. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
