Is it valid to stay overnight in al-'Aziziyah instead of staying overnight in Mina?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We performed Hajj a few years ago with a group, and they rented us accommodation in al-'Aziziyah.

Answer:
They say it is cheaper, that it saves them money. Yes, Hajj has become a trade now; it is not worship. It is obligatory for the pilgrims that they stipulate that they be housed in Mina, even if it costs them more. That is, if the pilgrims want to perform Hajj and the price is higher, they bear the cost. And the one who cannot bear the cost does not perform Hajj. He chooses the cheap Hajj because he is poor, or...
If he is unable to complete the Hajj, he does not perform it. But if he is able, he endures the high prices as a means of drawing near to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and he does not take a dispensation to stay in al-'Aziziyah. It is not permissible for this to happen. Yes.
