The ruling on hiring someone to perform Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person performs Hajj as a hired worker, is he considered a hired worker because of that?
Answer:
We said: It is not permissible to hire someone for Hajj; it is not permissible at all. However, if his intention is Hajj and he takes money to help him with the costs of Hajj, there is no harm in that. But if it is the opposite, that he performs Hajj for the sake of the money, then it is not permissible, and he has no valid Hajj. Yes.
