Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

As-salaam-o-Alaikum My name is Ammar. i want to be know that what is the age of do Hajj.

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Age limit  required for Hajj

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,  no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Hajj is obligatory to every believer who is an adult, sane,  healthy and has enough wealth to afford and make the journey to the Sacred House of Allah.

 

Hajj becomes obligatory on every believer after he has reached the age of puberty.  If one has done the Hajj before his age of puberty, that cannot be included as fulfilling the obligatory Hajj,  and he/she will have to do the Hajj again after the age of puberty.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,
