Who Must Perform Haj
Every Muslim who fulfills
the following conditions must perform Haj at least once in his lifetime.
He must be of sound mind, and in full control of his mental faculties.
He must be old enough, and mature enough to understand the full import,
and significance of what he is setting out to do.
He must be financially sound enough to be able not only to bear all of his
expenses for Haj but also to provide adequately for his dependents during
his absence and until his return.
Haj is one of the five basic tenets of islam. It is the Cherished desire
of every muslim in the world to perform Haj atleast once in life, though
it is mandatory only for those who are moneyed and are not indebted to any
one or otherwise not burdened under any other responsibility of obligatory
nature like having no provision for unmarried daughters.
