The Ruling on Hajj and Charity from Ministry Assistance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I receive financial assistance from the Ministry, which is called the "Shunah." Is it permissible to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, or even give charity, from this Shunah?
Answer:
Yes, if you take something from the entitlements that are paid to you by the government, and you take it while you are among those eligible for it, there is no harm in disposing of it through Hajj, charity, eating, or otherwise, because this is what Allah has made permissible. However, if you take it without right, meaning you are not one to whom the regulations for receiving it apply, then it is not permissible for you to take it, nor is it permissible for you to perform Hajj with it, nor to give it in charity; because it was taken without right.
