Pilgrimage to Makkah ( Hajj ) is a pillar of Islam

Ibn `Umar (RadhiAllahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"(The superstructure of) Islam is based on five (pillars),

1. Testifying the fact that La ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammad-ar-Rasul-ullah [there is no true God except Allah, and Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the Messenger of Allah],

2. Establishing As-Salat (the prayers),

3. Paying Zakat (poor due),

4. The pilgrimage to the House [of Allah (Ka`bah)], and

5. The Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
