I am very confused. I have performed the obligatory Hajj, and praise be to Allah, but what confuses me and makes me doubt the completeness of my Hajj is that I did not pay any financial costs to the tour group.

The questioner : A woman asks: I am very confused. I have performed the obligatory Hajj, and praise be to Allah. But what confuses me and makes me doubt the completeness of my Hajj is that I did not pay any costs, any financial costs, to the tour group, because a benefactor paid them, as my husband’s salary was small. And I owned a little gold, so I fear that my Hajj is incomplete because I did not sell this gold and pay it to the tour group.
The Shaykh : I say: The Hajj, if Allah wills, is not incomplete. I hope to Allah that it is accepted. It is not obligatory for her to sell her gold to perform Hajj, because gold is among the basic necessities that a woman must have. So it is not obligatory for her to sell it to perform Hajj. So I say to this woman: Be reassured, your Hajj is valid, it absolves your obligation, and the duty has been lifted from you.
