Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His third question, may Allah reward you, is: Is the hardship of Hajj, the visa, and the complications of the borders a justification for leaving off the recommended Hajj forever?
Answer:
No, it is not forever. But if Hajj is difficult for him in a given year, and he has already performed the obligatory one—meaning the voluntary Hajj is what is intended—if it is difficult for him in a year, or if he fears the crowds, then he does not perform Hajj, as long as he has performed the obligatory one. And if he has performed a voluntary one after that, he does not perform Hajj as long as there is hardship or difficulty for him. Yes.
