Summary
Hajj and Umrah are obligatory only for Muslims who are free, legally accountable (mukallaf) and capable, whether male or female. The conditions are Islam, puberty, sound mind, freedom and physical and mental ability. A child who has not reached puberty is not obliged, but if the child performs them the act is valid and counted as voluntary Hajj. Those who meet all the conditions are urged to perform them without delay.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam isu ini, kami berpandangan bahawa difardukan ibadah haji dan umrah ini hanyalah kepada muslim merdeka yang mukallaf serta berkemampuan, lelaki mahupun perempuan.
