Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of another person for a financial fee?
Answer:
If the intention behind the Hajj is to take the money, his Hajj is not valid because he is seeking worldly gain. However, if his intention is to perform Hajj, draw near to Allah, and benefit his brother, and he takes the money to help him with his Hajj and spend from it, there is nothing wrong with that. There is a phrase they say: "Whoever performs Hajj to take money, his Hajj is not valid; and whoever takes money to perform Hajj, let him take it. Whoever performs Hajj to take money, let him not take it." Yes.
