Hajj, Umrah, Ibadah, fasting, kindness to parents : when does Hajj become obligatory

Fatawa Question

Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh, As-Salaam Alaykum, I have been reading Hajj is obligatory to one who is "able to" perform it, or "physically and financially capable of performing Hajj" ! I'm more interested in the financial "capability" would like to know if there are any criteria in the Shari’ah / Sunnah (except for debt status) which I can use to determine my financial capacity to perform hajj ? by criteria I'm mean something (though maybe not as precise but) similar to that of income Zakah, whereby I'm obliged to pay Zakah if I meet certain criteria. So, how do I know if I am capable and thus hajj is obligatory on me now ? Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help Yours, Mohamed
