Issue No. 1742- It is permissible to receive zakāt or the portion of Imam from khums, and perform ḥajj, and this ḥajj will be considered as the obligatory ḥajj.

Issue No. 1743- If a person needs to get married and has no money for ḥajj other than the money for the expenses of marriage, ḥajj is not obligatory on him.

Issue No. 1744- If ḥajj becomes obligatory on a person, but does not perform it until he loses his capability to perform it, he should perform ḥajj in any way possible, even if he may have to take a loan or be hired.

Issue No. 1745- If a person who is mustaṭī‘ does not perform ḥajj and later loses his physical ability in a way that he loses hope in performing ḥajj in person, he should hire someone else to perform ḥajj on his behalf.

Similarly, in taking turns to go to Makkah for performing ḥajj, it would be better to give turns to those who are going to perform their obligatory ḥajj.
