Are there conditions for Hajj that require being married?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message arrived from the Arab Republic of Egypt, Aswan Governorate, and its sender is the listener Sayyid Ali. He says: Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj while I have not yet married? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes. There is no blame on you for performing Hajj while you are unmarried, if you are able to perform Hajj; it is obligatory for you to perform Hajj, even if you are a bachelor and not married. However, if you are not able, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a wayوَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
[Al-Imran: 97]. The means is the ability to afford the money that takes you to Makkah and back. If you are in need of marriage and you fear the danger, start with marriage; because marriage is a matter of great importance. So if marriage becomes easy for you, start with it, even if you delay the Hajj—yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
