Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My parents performed Hajj ten years ago, and now they want to perform Hajj again. However, I am a poor man and do not have sufficient funds to enable them to perform it. I have found a benefactor, but he conditions that it must be the Hajj of Islam. Is it permissible for me to lie and tell this benefactor...
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to deceive him. This is the Hajj of Islam, whereas they are performing a voluntary pilgrimage, not the Hajj of Islam. It is not permissible.
