If one performs Hajj on behalf of another for a fee, is it permissible for him to take what remains of the money given to him? And is it permissible for a man to seek a fee and look for someone to perform Hajj on his behalf?

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
Regarding acting as a proxy in Hajj, I have previously stated that a person should intend whether it counts for his brother?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : So let him intend it as a proxy for his brother in Hajj.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... the sacred sites.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... or is it because, O Shaykh, it comes from him ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is ... meaning he says no, no, do not take ... is this ruling issued for everyone in this matter ...
The Shaykh : Yes, this ruling is issued for everyone, and it is said that whatever remains of the expenses is yours, unless you were told to perform Hajj from this specific money.
The questioner : It is known now, O Shaykh, that they pay amounts greater than the cost ... a person enters the intention here.
The Shaykh : In any case, each person is according to his intention. Those who pay more than the cost either want to do good to this proxy who is acting on behalf of others, or they say that we do not estimate just the expenses, but we estimate the expenses and the man's effort and his risk. Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : Shaykh, does a person say this about the one who is looking for it, or not ...
The Shaykh : If he knows from a specific person that he is looking for someone, there is no harm in going to him with the intention of doing good to him. As for going to people and putting them in a difficult position, I do not see this. And I think the allotted time has ended, and we apologize to those who were unable to ask their questions. May Allah will it for next week.
