ADVICE TO THOSE UNABLE TO PERFORM THE HAJJ

Ibn Rajab (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"Whoever missed out on the standing at ‘Arafah; then let him stand for ALLĀH in regards to HIS rights in that which he is aware of.

Whoever was incapable from residing the night at Muzdalifah; then let his determination reside the nights upon obedience to ALLĀH – and indeed he will come close to HIM and draw near to HIM.

Whoever it was not possible for to stand in the vicinity of ˹Masjid˺ Al-Khaif ˹at Mina˺; then let him stand for ALLĀH with the right of hope and fear.

Whoever was unable to slaughter his sacrificial offering at Mina; then let him slaughter his desire right here – and indeed he would have attained the endurance of adversity.

Whoever was unable to reach the House (the Ka'bah) because he was far from it; then let him aspire to The Lord of the House, for indeed HE is closer to the one who supplicates to HIM and has hope in HIM – than his jugular vein."
