Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A Muslim asked me to perform Hajj on behalf of his father, who has passed away, and he will give me the costs of Hajj. I am going to be in charge of a group, so I will perform Hajj on his behalf and travel for free with this group, and I will take the costs from that man. Is this permissible for me?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, provided you do not make it a condition. If he gives it to you without any condition, there is nothing wrong. However, your intention must not be the money. If your intention is the money, do not perform Hajj, neither with a group nor with anyone else. But if your intention is worship and benefiting your deceased brother, then rely on Allah and perform Hajj. If you are given something without any condition, take it. Yes.
