The ruling on one who performs Hajj at the expense of another while having the ability to perform Hajj from his own wealth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to perform Hajj as a gift from another person's wealth, while he has the financial ability to pay the necessary cost of Hajj?

Answer:
It is permissible. However, it is better for him to be scrupulous and say, "I will not take the reward, and I will spend from my own wealth." There is no doubt that this is better. If he spends from his own wealth and performs Hajj with his own money, that is better. And if he accepts the gift, that is permissible. Yes.
