Old person desiring to go for hajj again

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2022-12-26 07:12

Q: I have been for hajj in 1989 when I was 29 years old and wish to go again now that I am 63. In principle, is this encouraged or am I seen to be depriving someone else who has not been for hajj the opportunity of going for hajj?

A: Allah Ta'ala grants a person the tawfeeq and opportunity to go for hajj and umrah. Hence, if you are blessed by Allah Ta'ala with the tawfeeq and opportunity to go for hajj, then you should go.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
