Surely if it's the Saudis who are refusing to let people go there it's they who should be going to hell. :evilgrin:

Why dont the Saudis take the bits of meteorites on a world tour, so the faithfull poor can dance around them and give the Imam in charge a bob or two?

The Catholic church does it, with its ghoulish body parts of "saints" and other relics.

The Saudis are missing out on a good money earner, perhaps when the oil runs out...

They must try but given that greater than 95% fail it's OK to fail?

If they save but buy a car instead do they go to hell?

it means from how i understand it that as a muslim they have to try to save enough money to go to hajj before they die,while still maintaining a descent standard of living.
alone in the year 2009 26,000 malays went to hajj,so out of one million people(that includes everyone) ,1000 are eligible.
and no,they wont be going to hell if it's beyond their control.

Yes, but when you say it's a must that implies there is a duty to actually do it, (and that people actually do it) not just dream about it.

yes,it's their duty but if due to circumstances beyond their control they can't make it they wont be blamed for it.
