Sunan Ibn Majah 2886 (Book 25, Hadith 5) #32240
The Voluntary Performance of Hajj

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that Hajj is only required to be done once, and those who can do it voluntarily should do so.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that Aqra’ bin Habis asked the Prophet : "O Messenger of Allah, is Hajj (required) every year, or just once" He said: "Rather it is just once. And whoever can perform Hajj voluntarily, let him do so".
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْحَجُّ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ أَوْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ ‏ "‏ بَلْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ فَتَطَوُّعٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of performing the pilgrimage to Makkah, known as Hajj. It is a religious obligation for Muslims to perform this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime if they are able. However, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also encouraged those who are able to perform it more than once voluntarily. This hadith shows us that we should strive to fulfill our religious obligations and take advantage of any opportunities we have to increase our faith and devotion by performing voluntary acts of worship such as Hajj.
