As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
Prophet Muhammad said:
"The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established until the Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House of Allah Almighty (i.e., the Kaaba in Mecca) is not carried out (i.e., Hajj becomes prevented / abandoned / denied / stopped) حتى لا يحج البيت ."(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 26, Number 663) لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى لاَ يُحَجَّ الْبَيْتُ

Muslims expressed disappointment Tuesday at Saudi Arabia's decision to scale
back this year's hajj pilgrimage, but many accepted it was necessary as the
kingdom battles a major coronavirus outbreak.
Around 1,000 people residing in Saudi Arabia will be allowed to perform Islam's
main pilgrimage this year, authorities said -- compared to some 2.5 million
from around the world last year.
