All the details are provided and option discussed, you may suit yourself....As everyone is answerable for his/her own deeds etc.

Though we are drifting from the original post but allow me to note two points on  your last quote of yours  “"Times have changed and nowadays travel has become much safer than it used to be thousands of years ago.. Those days one had to travel on camel or horse or a ship which used to take weeks or months but now it is just a matter of hours.." close quote.

a)    It is One thousand four hundred and forty two years pre hijri and not thousands of years.

b)    The statements/orders of prophet Muhammad (p&buh) are never out of time or out dated as they are direct orders from Allah az zougal and He (Allah) beyond any doubt knew and know of today and times to come.

If one believes otherwise, it can invalidate ones iman so please be extra careful on the point b

Allah knows the Best
