I am 26, unmarried, and not earning. I have an inheritance from my late father that is well in excess of Hajj costs, and my brother, a government employee, supports our household. Is Hajj obligatory for me given my circumstances?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, Hajj is obligatory on you as far as your livelihood expenses are provided by your brother and you have enough money to cover Hajj expenses.

Is it permissible to postpone Hajj if a person can afford it but would struggle to survive financially afterward?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the person who does not have enough to live on after returning from Hajj is not required to perform Hajj now until his financial situation is better and he should not face financial hardship in his livelihood after returning from Hajj.

I am 24 and feel I'm not a good Muslim. I have enough savings to go for Hajj. Should I go this year or focus on improving my faith first and aim to go next year?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When you have the ability to perform Hajj, you must go for Hajj this year and never postpone Hajj. Hadeeth says: He who was able to perform Hajj but did not, will die as a non Muslim. Go for Hajj and pray to Allah (SWT) during Hajj to Grant you a better faith and better life and better hereafter but never postpone Hajj.

Wassalam.
