Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on going to Hajj without a visa, and is his Hajj valid or invalid?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a person to expose himself to danger and liability. He must follow the authorized system, as that is safer for him. However, if he violates it, he has erred, but his Hajj is valid if he performs the rites in the required manner. Nevertheless, I fear he may face punishment or be prevented from performing Hajj after entering the state of ihram, as this happens frequently. Therefore, following the system is safer for him and clears his conscience. Yes.
