Islam has 5 pillars and one of them is the Pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mekkah. Mekkah is the most important city of the Muslims. Here, they have to perform a set of rituals in order for them to complete the Pilgrimage. The reward for those who perform this act of adoration is very big. There are categories of Muslims that are not obligated to perform the Pilgrimage: the sick, the poor (Pilgrimage involves a rather important sum of money for those who live at great disntace), the insane, the children, those imprisoned. Nowadays the Muslims that receive visa for entering Saudi Arabia is limited, so for those who die without performing the Pilgrimage due to lack of possibility, it is not considered a sin.
