The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, a person working in the military for whom Hajj has become obligatory but who has not performed it and wishes to perform it this year. But he is compelled to participate in serving the pilgrims. Is it obligatory for him to refuse and perform Hajj?
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory for him to refuse; rather, he should listen and obey. Sometimes he is asked to participate, but he may be granted permission on the Day of 'Arafah to enter the state of ihram for Hajj. If he is granted permission on the Day of 'Arafah to enter the state of ihram for Hajj, he enters the state of ihram from 'Arafah. He is not required to go to the miqat, because he was not able to begin the rites except in this place. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. Yes.
