Some Hajj transport services are based in Muzdalifah during the days of Tashriq, and they are cheaper. Is it permissible to hire them?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some Hajj transport services are located in Muzdalifah during the days of Tashriq, and they are cheaper than others in terms of price. Is it permissible for one who can afford the more expensive option to hire this service?

Answer:
No. It is not permissible for the service to lodge its pilgrims in Muzdalifah; it is not allowed for them to say, “We offer you a lower price.” Hajj is not a matter of bargaining. They are not to bargain unless they cannot find a place in Mina. If they do not find a place in Mina and search but find none, then they may stay in Muzdalifah. However, when night falls, they go to Mina, walk there, and spend the night in Mina until the middle of the night, then return to their tents at the end of the night. This does not violate the rules. Yes.
