Summary
A person is considered able when he has enough wealth for transport, round-trip expenses, a passport and the fee for a Hajj guide, all in excess of his debts and the maintenance of the family left behind. He must also be physically healthy, and the journey must be safe for life and property. A woman must be accompanied by a mahram or a trustworthy woman. Ability is of two types: direct, by performing it personally, and indirect, by hiring another person to perform Hajj on his behalf when he is unable due to old age or illness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kemampuan secara langsung ialah seseorang itu mampu melakukan sendiri ibadat haji dan umrah kerana masih berupaya iaitu badan yang sihat, mampu menempuh perjalanan dan melakukan kerja-kerja ibadat tanpa mengalami kemudaratan dan kesulitan yang tidak mampu ditanggungnya.
