Ayats that Imply the ones who Neglect Hajj

The Almighty Allah says in Surah Munafiqūn,

 “And spend out of what We have given you before death comes to one of you, so that he should say: My Lord! Why didst Thou not respite me to a near term, so that I should have given alms and been of the doers of good deeds?

And Allah does not respite a soul when its appointed term has come and Allah is Aware of what you do.”

 (Surah al-MunāfiqÅ«n 63: 10-11)

 After this Imam MÅ«sa bin Ja’far (a.s.) said,

“I should have given alms”, indicates Sadaqah and “good deeds”, implies Hajj.”

(Faqih Vol. 2 page 220)

Also the following Ayat says,

 “Say: Shall we inform you of the greatest losers in (their) deeds?

(These are) they whose labour is lost in this world’s life and they think that they are well-versed in skill of the hands.”

(Surah al-Kahf 18: 103-104)

Imam (a.s.) explains,

“It implies those who neglect Hajj and continue to postpone it saying they’ll go next year.”

There are many traditions that say neglecting Hajj is a Greater Sin, however the ones quoted above should suffice our purpose.
