Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Before us is the word "Hajj" that has reached us, and it is obligatory for us to act according to its meaning, whether we know that people acted upon it previously or not.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. A man who, when the season of Hajj arrives, goes to Makkah for the work assigned to him during the season, and does not perform the obligatory Hajj while he is able to do so, is there anything required of him?
The Shaykh : Why did he not perform Hajj when he reached there?
The questioner : Because he has work assigned to him.
The Shaykh : In any case, if a man is unable to perform Hajj based on his job, then he owes nothing, because he has no way to do it. However, I often hear that some of the brothers, such as soldiers or others, go to Makkah as delegates, and when the time for Hajj arrives, they are given permission to perform Hajj. If they give him permission, let him perform Hajj, and he owes nothing. But if they do not give him permission, you are not able to do it, and Hajj is not obligatory upon you.
