ADVICE TO THOSE UNABLE TO PERFORM THE HAJJ
Ibn Rajab (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:
"Whoever missed out on the standing at ‘Arafah; then let him stand for ALLĀH in regards to HIS rights in that which he is aware of.
Whoever was incapable from residing the night at Muzdalifah; then let his determination reside the nights upon obedience to ALLĀH – and indeed he will come close to HIM and draw near to HIM.
Whoever it was not possible for to stand in the vicinity of ˹Masjid˺ Al-Khaif ˹at Mina˺; then let him stand for ALLĀH with the right of hope and fear.
Whoever was unable to slaughter his sacrificial offering at Mina; then let him slaughter his desire right here – and indeed he would have attained the endurance of adversity.
Whoever was unable to reach the House (the Ka'bah) because he was far from it; then let him aspire to The Lord of the House, for indeed HE is closer to the one who supplicates to HIM and has hope in HIM – than his jugular vein."

SARAN BAGI YANG TIDAK MAMPU MENJALANKAN HAJI
Ibnu Rajab rahimahullah berkata:
“Barang siapa yang ketinggalan dalam kedudukan di ‘Arafah, maka hendaklah dia membela ALLAH dalam hak-hakNYA dalam apa yang diketahuinya.
Barangsiapa yang tidak mampu bermalam di Muzdalifah; lalu biarlah tekadnya ada di malam-malam ketaatan kepada ALLAH – dan sesungguhnya dia akan mendekat kepada-NYA dan mendekatkan diri kepada-NYA.
Siapa pun yang tidak sanggup berdiri di sekitar ˹Masjid˺ Al-Khaif ˹at Mina˺; maka biarlah dia membela ALLAH dengan hak berharap dan takut.
Barang siapa yang tidak mampu menyembelih kurbannya di Mina; kemudian biarkan dia membunuh keinginannya di sini – dan sesungguhnya dia akan mencapai ketahanan terhadap kesulitan.
Barangsiapa tidak mampu mencapai Rumah (Ka'bah) karena jauh darinya; maka hendaklah dia bercita-cita kepada Penguasa Rumah, karena sesungguhnya DIA lebih dekat dengan orang yang berdo’a kepada-NYA dan berharap kepada DIA – daripada urat nadinya.”
