Perform the pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in your lifetime if you are able; Ask beneficial and relevant questions about Islam; Respect religious obligations; Understand Islamic teachings correctly

This hadith explains the importance of performing the pilgrimage to Makkah, known as Hajj. It is a duty that all Muslims owe to Allah and should be done at least once in their lifetime if they are able. However, this hadith also clarifies that it is not necessary for Muslims to perform Hajj every year. This was revealed after the Prophet Muhammad remained silent when asked if it was obligatory every year. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us an important lesson about asking questions which may cause trouble or confusion if answered plainly. We should only ask questions which are beneficial and relevant for our understanding of Islam and its teachings.
