The Ruling on Direct Permission for Hajj and Expenses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh! If my direct supervisor gives me permission to perform Hajj, and I go to Makkah and perform what is obligatory upon me, and these expenses were taken from the place where I am, meaning from my food and drink, is my action considered valid? And is my Hajj considered complete?
Answer:
First, regarding permission from the direct supervisor, there is a distinction. If he has the authority to grant permission, then that is fine. But if he does not have the authority and this is merely an action on his own part, then it is not permissible. What is within his authority to permit for the employees? Unless the system has delegated that to him. As for the expenses, if you performed Hajj and someone from the company or a group covered them, if they covered them as a group, because this did not become valid through that.
