Hajj More Than Once or Helping the Poor and Needy?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Is it recommended for a person of means to perform Hajj every year, provided it does not burden him, or should he give that money to those who have not performed Hajj?
Answer:
Performing Hajj every year, if it is facilitated, carries great virtue. One should alternate between Hajj and 'Umrah. However, in our current time, due to the crowds and the regulations, one is not permitted to perform Hajj every year, but only after five years, as is well known, so as not to burden the pilgrims. Giving this money in charity, or giving it to those in need, is better than performing the obligatory Hajj. Yes.
