Hajj on behalf of another for a fee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We prayed the midday and afternoon prayers on the Day of 'Arafah in the street, far from the mosque, but the rows were connected to the mosque, and we did not hear the imam except through the radio. Is the prayer valid? A question: Please rule on a person who performs Hajj on behalf of another for a fee. Does the one who performs Hajj for a fee receive reward and gratitude?
Answer:
If he takes it to help him with a hardship, its origin is riba (usury or interest) in the Hereafter, then he is in a good state. But if he takes it for the sake of this world and desires this world, then leaving it is better.
