Hi,
I would rather have a minimum age limit of 40-45 years old for haj---one haj in lifetime---one Umrah.
People over a certain income level would have to donate a certain amount of money towards the states welfare funds---for performing haj or umrah.
Anyone known to have performed more than one Umrah without permission---will be fined 10 times their total expenditure of the trip.
People will be encouraged to donate their money for Hajj and Umrah towards the welfare of the poor---till the over all condition of the poor people improves.
Now for those who will gibve eamples of corruption---to them---if this was implemented---the corrupt would have been strung by their necks by now---so the fear of corruption would not be there.
A ' good muslim ' does not need a BEARD.
Hi MK,
I just find it funny how people like yourself want to have have all these standards for religious activities such as hajj or umrah. The only REAL "problem" is during hajj, where the concern is of management and safety hence there should be a reasonable set upper limit there. First timers should be preferred in the government schemes (speaking from a Pakistani perspective), as it is a lot cheaper and is usually the only way the less fortunate people are able to go.
Other then that ... If I WANT to go, and can PAY to go, and I can get a visa to do so ... WHY SHOULDN'T I go would be my question? It's my personal affair.
Like I said, I really find it funny when people have all these standards/suggestions for religious activities, that people do FOR THEMSELVES to find peace and we have the lot of you proposing we should charge them X amount of money and if they have been there many times they should be FINED ? Fined for what exactly ? Visiting a country and performing a religious activity ?
And don't bring up the "improving the condition of the poor" EXCUSE .. Yes I call it an excuse because I don't see suggestions from you where you go out and say, A consumer of an Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW and any of the luxurious brands or cars that go above a certain price limit will have to pay 2 times the amount so that an amount can be donated to the poor to alleviate them from poverty. I don't see any criticism on extravagant marriages -- and no suggestions from you where you have to pay a sum of money so that it can be donated to the poor if you go beyond a limit of spending on marriages. No standards or suggestions on expensive getaways, trips abroad, spending on luxurious watches etc etc. I thought we were concerned for the poor .. or are we just concerned for the poor when a person wants to go perform a religious activity ?
Lastly, its up to me if I wear a beard or not ... my personal choice ... you can go all in about how a good muslim doesn't "need" a beard... the only choice you get is your own face, not anyone else's ..
