Question:
As salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu….My question is regarding Hajj & Umrah I know a person who is financially able to perform Hajj should perform Hajj as it is one of the pillars of Islam but what should a person do who isn’t financially able to perform Hajj do? I mean do they need to fast more often, supplicate more often or do what to compensate for this inability?? JazakALLAH Khayr
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Hajj can compensate for every sin but there is nothing to compensate for Hajj. Keep intention of performing Hajj till the last breath.
