What about the far distance they had to travel to get to Mecca with only a limited amount of supplies?

wach · Answer

For many Muslims who lived in Yemen, hajj (the journey to Mecca) was difficult because the Arabian peninsula is basically a huge desert in its central portion. You might want to also consider that many Muslims couldn't afford to make such a journey because it meant they couldn't work or support their families for weeks and months.
