Primary text

It is stipulated that the pilgrim must possess a riding animal suitable for their status, which can be acquired through purchase or rental, covering the journey there and back. Furthermore, the pilgrim must possess the necessary equipment for that animal suitable for their status. If the pilgrim can manage with simple gear (rahl and qatab) without fear of falling, the mere presence of these suffices.
