The Shaykh : And we do not know what each one said. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them), including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, said: "Whoever performs Hajj to take money has no share in the Hereafter, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Hud 11:15-16] But as for the one who takes [money] to perform Hajj and fulfill his brother's need, and he benefits from the dirhams or what is added to them, there is no harm in that. A person is judged by his intention. So if you take dirhams to perform Hajj on behalf of someone else, make your intention that you want to fulfill your brother's need, and you also want to benefit from seeing the sanctified places and utilizing the time there with supplication. But when you supplicate, make a share of the supplication for the one who entrusted you. Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How do they say what they were doing in Hajj?
The questioner : ... One says we give five thousand, one says ... .
The Shaykh : And what kind? In Mina, I mean.
The questioner : In the caravan, it comes in a caravan of a thousand, and one comes with a servant to this place; he said for two thousand and gives him five ...
The Shaykh : Fine, and the caravan owner agrees, because perhaps the second one is thick and large in body, and the first one is small, so there is a difference in that. In any case, if the caravan owner agrees, there is no harm, because this is a concession of a right he has in exchange for compensation, and there is no blame on him. It is like if a person rents a house for ten thousand and then sublets it for fifteen thousand to a renter who does not increase the wear on the house; then that is permissible. Yes.
(15) Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived. (16) Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do.
مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا النَّارُ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا فِيهَا وَبَاطِلٌ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَThe questioner : ... .
