Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I want to perform Hajj, but I do not have the financial ability to do so. So, may I go with one of the groups as a supervisor and perform Hajj, knowing that supervising the groups occupies the pilgrim from performing his Hajj in the required manner?
Answer:
You do not have to perform Hajj until you are able to do so from your wealth.[Ali 'Imran 3:97] If you are able from your wealth, the Hajj of Islam becomes obligatory upon you. If you are not able from your wealth, then you do not have to perform Hajj.

And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way
وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
