Allaah likes to restrict a person's ability to perform good deeds

It is not prohibited when there is a necessity

Actions are only in accordance with the intentions behind them

An action of worship is not obligatory unless you have the ability to do it

The principle established by the quoted Quranic verse is that an action of worship is not obligatory unless you have the ability to do it. This means that a person is not obligated to perform a certain act of worship if they do not have the physical, mental, or financial ability to do so. This principle applies not just to Hajj but to all acts of worship in Islam. It emphasizes the importance of considering one's capabilities and limitations when it comes to fulfilling religious obligations.
