Sorry, if this question has been asked. How would the pilgrims from poor 3rd world countries be able to pay for their Hajj? Is it subsidized by the Saudi Gov't?
Good question. Hajj is only required if you have the financial and health abilities. So for most people in poorer countries, they don't go. Some countries though offer a savings fund to allow people to save up for the Hajj starting from when they are young.
