Wanting to perform Hajj but having a brother or a neighbor suffering from dangerous disease and cannot afford treatment


295

Q 2: What is the ruling on a person, who wants to perform Hajj but has a brother or a neighbor who is suffering from dangerous disease and cannot afford the necessary treatment and medical care? Should the person in question perform Hajj or help the sick brother?


A: If the person has not performed the obligatory Hajj, he should perform the Hajj whenever he has the prerequisites of obligation. But if it is a voluntary Hajj, he should help the ill person who is in dire need of help, as this is better than performing voluntary Hajj.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
