Is it permissible to delay Hajj out of fear of an epidemic, despite having the ability to perform it?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person is able to perform Hajj and has the money, but he says he has heard that there is an epidemic these days, and he fears for his life this year that he might be afflicted by it. Is it permissible for him to delay Hajj until the next year?

Answer:
The next year, an epidemic might occur, and the year after that, he should rely on Allah and perform Hajj. He should take the precautions now, the precautions the state implements, such as vaccination and other measures, and quarantine. May Allah make the means beneficial.
