The ruling on accepting agency for Hajj and 'Umrah in exchange for money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Shaykh, a person asked me to perform 'Umrah and Hajj on his behalf while he is in his own country, and when I return to my country, he will give me money in exchange for this 'Umrah and Hajj. Is that permissible?
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If the one who appointed you as his agent for Hajj and 'Umrah is unable in his body to perform Hajj and 'Umrah and travel, and has not yet performed the obligatory duty of Islam, then he appoints you—appoints you—to perform Hajj on his behalf and 'Umrah on his behalf. This is specific to the one who is able financially but unable physically; he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. There is no objection to your taking what he gives you, without stipulating a specific amount with him; you take what he gives you for this. Yes.
