Question : In her final question, she says: Shaykh, if a person takes a Hajj for two thousand and this Hajj costs five hundred riyals, what is the ruling on the excess of this amount, Shaykh?

Answer : The excess belongs to him, the one who took the Hajj, unless he was negligent and the cause of the increase was his negligence, in which case it is forbidden for him to keep it. Or if the person performing the Hajj said to him, "Return to me whatever exceeds the expenses," then he must return it to him.
