Hajj is obligatory only once during a person's lifetime.
If he can afford to perform it more than once, he may go as often as he likes.
Except for the first one, additional performances of hajj are supererogatory.
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas reported:
"Allah's messenger salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said,
'Pilgrimage has been ordained for You people,' Hearing this, al Aqra' bin Habis asked whether it should be performed annually.
Allah's messenger salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied,
"If were to say that it should, it would be obligatory, and you would not be able [to do it]. Hajj is once, and whoever does more - it is voluntary ."
