Which is better, performing Hajj by riding or performing Hajj on foot?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Is performing Hajj by riding or performing Hajj on foot better?

Answer:
If riding is available, it is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj while riding. And Allah says:
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent patternلَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
[Al-Ahzab 33:21]
Also, because it is more comfortable for the believer and easier for him, so performing Hajj by car is better than enduring the hardship of walking, or if he came and tried before the farewell tawaf, there is nothing on him if he did not perform the farewell tawaf.
