Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca once in a life time is obligatory for all Muslims . Those who do not have economic means and those who have health issues are exempt. one does not borrow money or use up funds that will cause hardship on return to you or your family.

The narrator is Michael Wolf, a writer and a broadcaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=7dOlGoiGrSA
