Hajj
Haj (Hajj or Pilgrimage (to Mecca))
If a person has wealth which is over and above his basic necessities and which will be sufficient for him to make the onward and return journey for hajj, then hajj becomes fard upon him fard (or "farz).There are great virtues in performing hajj. Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: "There is nothing in return for a hajj that is free of sins and evils except paradise.” Similarly, great rewards have been mentioned for performing umrah. Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: "Hajj and umrah wipe out sins just as a furnace removes the rust that has settled on steel."
Severe warnings have been mentioned with regard to the one who does not perform his hajj despite it being fard upon him. Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: "The person who has food, drink, and the means of transportation in order to undertake the journey of hajj and still does not go - Allah Ta'ala has no concern if the person dies as a Jew or a Christian." He has also said that the abandoning of hajj is not the way of Islam.
