The answer

We advise you to desire good, hasten to it, and feel the deprivation of the good that is missed by the interruption of visiting the Two Holy Mosques. For in the Hadith Qudsi: «Indeed, a servant whose body I have made healthy, and whose livelihood I have expanded, yet five years pass over him without him coming to Me, is certainly deprived.» The Sacred House is a sanctuary for people that souls yearn for, and are never satisfied with. Authentic hadiths have been reported regarding the virtue of repeatedly performing Hajj and Umrah, and that one Umrah to the next is an expiation for what is between them, and also clarifying the virtue of prayer in the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque and the multiplication of rewards therein. Strive to ponder this, perhaps your heart will yearn to visit the House of Allah, the Sacred, and the Mosque of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
