Are you that ignorant or trying to act like one Hajj is compulsory on those who can afford it that is basic rule of hajj if Government has to subsidize Hajj for you than sorry it's not Hajj. Stop mixing two totally different things for GOD sake
The Hajj is 'economically big' for Saudi Arabia, from a Pakistani perspective, there is limited impact outside of the travel/airline business.
People should go for umrah if they cant afford hajj...philanthropist should help poor for hajj..govt should help once it achieves social security i.e good health and poor not dying of hunger (capital income of 8-10k atleast)
KSA is making hajj very expensive , you live in US and you know hajj is now very expensive. They are charging all development of Mecca and Madina to hajis . Plus, in future they have plan to increase the cost. Because it only biggest consistent source of income compare to oil.
I usually hesitate to make far reaching statements, but I see your point. The case here is more on religious side, where if Islam has already exempt you from an obligation then why resources of a poor country should not be utilized in more urgent matters - such as the pathetic state of HDI!
How Pakistan makes money from Hajj bhai? Most is made by Saudi Arabia, as you would know Makkah and Madina are located there. Poor should be helped, but in the right aspects such as education, food security, jobs etc.. There are examples of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and the Khulfa-e-Rashadeen helping poor, but I have never heard about the state providing financial aid for Hajj. I would appreciate any examples if you know of.
You want to get the sawab for Hajj but also complaining about expenses. Hajj was always expensive and a difficult journey, but it's difficulty has dramatically decreased due to improvements in travelling facilities and transportation technologies. Compared to 1400 years ago, the Hajj of today is not even 1\100th in difficulty.
Why you pose taxes on hajj which relgions name your country been made im not saying airline do not take orofit from hajis but the profit to PPUA shoukd be average which in itself govt earning and pak govt already taking too much taxes in other itens tgre to four times on one item probleum is corruption eating those taxes
Because it is a never ending ritual started way before Muslims settled in Makkah or Madina.
This is not true. The Hajj economy spreads beyond the 5-40 days of the pilgrimage.
I would like some references for those, as what you state may be true but your interpretations is quite generic. I would not compare the plight of displaced people from war and famine with the ones unable to do hajj.
Lets say .if its for 1000$..before..
