Answer:
are entitled to it because of your poverty, there is no harm in performing Hajj with it or spending from it. However, if you took it from zakah and you are not entitled to receive it, then it is not permissible for you; because zakah is not lawful except for the poor and those whom Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned in the categories of zakah. As for if this money is in the category of voluntary charity or in the category of gifts, if this money is in the category of gifts, as for voluntary charity, it is not lawful, even voluntary charity is not lawful for the wealthy person. But if it is in the category of gifts, there is no harm in performing Hajj with it or using it. If it is in the category of a gift and she is wealthy, there is no harm in accepting the gift, and accepting a gift, there is no harm in it, and there is no harm in disposing of it.
