Short Discription: A
fatwa by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz explaining the rulling on delaying hajj
for no reason and the position of Hajj in Islam.
______________________________________________________
Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger
of Allaah. Whoever is able to do Hajj and does not do the obligatory Hajj,
delaying it for no reason, has committed a great evil and a major sin.
What he has to do is to repent to Allaah from that and
hasten to do Hajj, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka‘bah) is
a duty that mankind owes to Allaah, those who can afford the expenses (for
one’s conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e.
denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allaah], then
Allaah stands not in need of any of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that
exists)” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:97]
And the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “Islam is built on five (pillars): the
testimony that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allaah; establishing regular prayer; paying zakaah; fasting Ramadaan, and
performing Pilgrimage to the House (the Ka’bah).” (Saheeh – agreed upon.
Al-Bukhaari, 8; Muslim, 16).
And the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said, when Jibreel (peace be upon him) asked him about Islam: “It means to testify that there is no god except Allaah
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, to establish regular prayer, to
pay zakaah, to fast Ramadaan, and to perform Pilgrimage to the House if you
have the means to do so.” (Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh, 8, from the
hadeeth of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him)). And Allaah
is the Source of strength.
