The question

Is work pressure and the employer's refusal to allow travel for Hajj considered an excuse for delaying the performance of the Hajj obligation, especially if going without his approval would lead to losing the job?

The answer

If an employee is prevented from performing Hajj due to work, he is not obligated to leave his job. He is considered excused and unable to perform Hajj, and the sin is lifted from him. He must try to apply for Hajj every year and make an effort. So, whoever is unable to perform Hajj due to the employer's disapproval, there is nothing upon him. He is not like one who has actually performed Hajj; rather, the obligation of Hajj is lifted from him until he is able, and he will die not being disobedient.
