God’s mercy and love for His creation are the basis of the pillars of Islam. He only commands what is beneficial for us. That is why the pillar of Hajj (pilgrimage) is only obligatory for those who have the ability to complete it. How is that determined? Sh. Abdullah Oduro elaborates on the concept of ability in terms of health and financial capacity.
