Crowding during Hajj

Question :

The people intentionally crowd together while perform ing some of the sacred acts of Hajj. Is the Hajj of these people correct or invalid?

Answer:

Their Hajj is not invalidated due to crowding, however, they are committing a sin if they do so intentionally without any need to do so. This is due to what it (crowding) contains of oppression and harm to the Hajj pilgrims, and it discourages them from performing the Hajj. However, if a person is forced (to crowd) against his will, but rather due to the crowding of others against him, there is no sin on him, if Allâh wills. This is due to the Statement of Allâh:
"So fear Allah as much as you are able."And His Statement:
"Allah does not burden a soul except with what it can bear." And Allâh is the Giver of success.
