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:[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.
