Hajj is an act of worship that includes several other deeds of obedience and submission towards ALLAH and testifying his ONENESS. “…And Hajj to the House (Ka’bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who have the ability….”Messeneger of Allah (SAW) was asked “What is ability ” and he replied “Provision and Transport”. This means Hajj is obligatory on anyone who has enough money to afford an average Hajj package. If one declines despite the ability the Allah say: “… and whoever disbeleives then Allah stands not in need of any of the Alamin (mankind , jinns and all that exists)…” Can I delay my Hajj for future?
