The fifth pillar of Islam, the Hajj, is a ritual obligatory only to those who are mentally, physically and financially able to undertake it. The subsidy by the government is wrong in the light of the above fact and vividly seems be nothing but an appeasement of the 'Muslim vote-bank.' Moreover, the way in which the applicants are chosen is by way of a 'lucky draw', akin to gambling. This too is a gross violation of the tenets of Islam.
