Fatwa #76464 February 2003South Africa
I made umra after eid in this shawal. I not performed any Haj before. Is haj became farz on me and do I have to perform Haj the same year.
Answer
In principle, if you have the means to perform Haj then only will Hajj become Fardh. We advise you give preference to performing Hajj over Umrah, if you can afford only one of the two.
