Q: A women in her near 60's is diabetic, has blood pressure issues and foot corn such that if she walks much she get's pain in her legs.
Now when she was married many years back, she was gifted some gold such that if that is sold she can pay for hajj. Initially she didn't do so. Now, she can only do hajj by selling the gold. She doesn't earn otherwise. Would hajj be fard on her?
A: If in the past she was able to do hajj with the amount of gold she possessed, then hajj was compulsory upon her. She should cash the gold and go for hajj. She should also make tawba for delaying in fulfilling this obligation.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
