The questioner : What is the ruling of the Shari'ah, in your opinion, regarding a man who is prevented from performing the obligatory Hajj due to illness, and whose financial situation is also very difficult? What is the ruling in this case? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Hajj is not obligatory except upon one who has the means to perform it, as Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] So if you are unable to find the way to Hajj due to a lack of money, then there is no Hajj upon you. Even if you die in this state, there is no sin upon you, because the obligatory duty is dropped due to inability. Yes.
