Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Ahmad from Makkah, go ahead, my brother Ahmad. Ahmad, go ahead. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I am speaking to your Eminence. Go ahead. I, O Shaykh, this year I intended to perform Hajj this year, but Allah willed that I got a job, and the job kept me from performing Hajj. So, is there a sin on me or not?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Repeat the question, Ahmad. I, this past year, the year that passed, I intended to perform Hajj this year, and I got a seasonal job, meaning in Hajj. So, does my intention count or not?
The Shaykh:
There is no sin on you, if you performed the work and were able to perform Hajj, and your employer gave you permission, there is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
