The ruling on not performing the Hajj of Islam for a domestic worker after traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, I hired a domestic worker and we stipulated that we would take her for Hajj before the end of her contract and before she traveled. However, circumstances did not allow us to do so, so we gave her the cost of the Hajj and told her to go herself. She traveled but did not perform Hajj with us.
Answer:
As long as she agreed to that, it is up to her. This is her right, and you and she have agreed on what you mentioned, so there is no harm in that. But if she has not performed the Hajj of Islam, it remains a debt in her account. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
