Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I want to perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person, and the awliya of this deceased person will give me a sum of money. Is it permissible for me to accept it?
Answer:
If your intention is the money, no, do not perform Hajj; you have no obligation to perform Hajj. But if your intention is the Hajj, and you accept the money to help you with the cost of the Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
