Q.
"It is commonly heard that if one
performs Umrah once, then performing Hajj becomes
mandatory (Wajib) for him. Please clarify this
point.
(Yousuf Ghani, Karachi)
A. This is not correct. Merely performing Umrah
does not make Hajj mandatory. If a person, who did not previously perform
Hajj, reaches Makkah
for any reason in the month of Shawwal or anytime thereafter before the 10th
of Zilhijjah and he has resources to stay there upto the days of Hajj, only in that case it becomes obligatory
on him to perform Hajj either that very year or in any subsequent year.
