The questioner : For example, if a person was ill and supplicated to our Lord that if he were healed, he would perform Hajj or 'Umrah, but he did not have the ability to do so, what do you advise him to do after that? For example, if he is weak?
The Shaykh : What do you advise him to do?
The questioner : For example, does he cut off his work and go, or does he abandon sins and just live his life?
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, you are saying: he is unable to migrate!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, if he is unable, what do I tell him: be able to do it.
The questioner : No, he intended, meaning he made the intention.
The Shaykh : It appears that you do not know what to say!
