Raising the fees of Hajj groups

Question:
Muhammad from Ha'il, please, Muhammad. May Allah prolong your virtue, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. My question is for the Shaykh, may Allah prolong your life. Yes. The groups that are raising the rent now have become an obstacle for some Muslims who are unable to pay the rent. We have a fee for refusal, and some people went to perform Hajj without a permit, smuggling, and they do not call it that, and all the reasons, may Allah prolong your life. This is the first question. The second one, wait a moment, wait a moment, the Shaykh will answer, wait a moment, please, Shaykh.

Answer:
My brother, Hajj with the groups that one is able to perform Hajj with, if he has money and is able to pay them the money they condition upon him, Muslims are bound by their conditions. But it is not befitting for the owners of the groups to make it difficult for the pilgrims or to raise the rent on them. They should help them and be lenient with them and make things easy for them. They have a reward for that. Yes.
