Every able-bodied Muslim who has the means should perform the hajj at least once in their lifetime under a quota system.
MECCA – Hisham Mostafa briefly forgot the war in Syria and his financial worries as he looked upon Islam’s holiest sites for the first time, standing among hundreds of thousands of white-clad Muslims gathered in Mecca ahead of the hajj pilgrimage. „This is the first time I see the Grand Mosque and the Kaaba. It is the best feeling of my life to be able to perform the hajj,“ said Mostafa, 50, as he looked at the cube-shaped structure towards which Muslims turn in prayer five times a day.
