Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner also says: My brother has not performed Hajj because he lacks the financial means, so I paid the cost of Hajj for him and told him that whenever he is able to repay this money, he should return it to me, without imposing a specific time limit. He asks: Is this action prescribed and valid?
Answer:
That is fine. If you gave him the cost of Hajj and counted it as a debt against him, so that if he becomes wealthy he pays it off, there is no harm. However, he is not required to accept it; he is not required to accept it, because this involves a favor. He is not required to accept it. And if he accepts it, it is permissible. Yes.
