   Is there any estimates of what percentage of Muslims actually are able to make the Hajj in their lifetime?

	Salam, As far as I know there is not census about it yet. However in many muslim majority country, to go to hajj you have to be in waiting list. Becasue Saudi Arabia give a quota to every country, mostly about 10% of the muslim population. In Indonesia for example I read that to go to hajj you have to be in waing list at list for 3 years.
	Salam/Peace, Semar "We are people who do not eat until we are hungry and do not eat to our fill." (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) "1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water, 1/3 for air"
