The Shaykh : And intellect.

The Shaykh : And reaching maturity.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. Now, is Hajj an immediate obligation or a deferred one?
The questioner : The correct view is that Hajj is an immediate obligation.
The Shaykh : Yes, what is the evidence?

The Shaykh : Now, what is the evidence that they are immediate?
The questioner :.
The Shaykh : No, what is the evidence that the commands are immediate?
The questioner : That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he ordered the Companions... and they delayed...
The Shaykh : In the expedition of al-Hudaybiyyah.
The questioner : He became angry when the Companions delayed.
The Shaykh : He became angry about that, which indicates that the command is immediate. Well done. They also have other evidence, including the command to hasten to good deeds and to rush to them. Also, if we say it is deferred, until when? It must be specified, because if we say it is deferred, it necessarily follows that one would leave it until the last moment of his life, and this leads to its omission in reality. Yes, I think we have not taken more than that?
