Does performing Umra make Haj compulsory?
Question
If a person has made Umra, does it becomes Farz for this person to go for Hajj? What happens if this person does not have the money to go for Hajj?
Answer
Hajj does not become compulsory on a person merely due to him performing Umrah.
If a person possesses sufficient funds for Hajj during the period of Hajj and is physically able to perform Hajj, then Hajj will be Fardh on him.
And Allah Knows Best
