Between intention and wealth, a person reflects on obligations, questioning whether saving for Hajj removes or confirms zakat duty.

Condition of Ability
Hajj becomes obligatory only with financial capability, as no duty exists without sufficient means.

Zakat on Saved Money
Money saved for Hajj requires zakat when it reaches nisab and completes a full lunar year, as it remains unused wealth.

When Zakat Is Not Due
Zakat no longer applies once travel becomes certain and funds become allocated for immediate use.

Financial Independence
Each individual holds independent ownership of wealth, with no right for others to use it without consent, while Hajj expenses do not fall as an obligation on a spouse.

Balance Between Worship and Wealth
This ruling reflects harmony between devotion and financial duty, preserving both intention and obligation.

Conclusion
Wealth stands as a test, purified through zakat and elevated through worship, guided by sincere intention.
