Delaying The Obligatory Pilgrimage
Is it permissible to delay performing the pilgrimage even if it is obligatory and one possesses the means?
Once the physical, logistical and financial conditions exist for performing the pilgrimage, the individual is obligated to perform it that same year, and to delay doing so without a valid reason is impermissible, though no less obligatory; non-performance becomes a sin if the person dies while having had reasonable opportunity to perform the pilgrimage.
