When I performed Hajj, my brother gave me the expenses for Hajj with his consent. Is this permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When I performed Hajj, my brother gave me the expenses for Hajj, which were three hundred Omani riyals. Is my Hajj valid, given that this was with their consent? I ask you to provide guidance.
The Shaykh : There is no blame on a person for accepting a gift from his brother to help him perform Hajj, provided he knows that it is given willingly. A gift fosters affection and love, removes resentment, opens the heart of the giver, fulfills a need, and assists the recipient. This does not diminish your reward in any way, because this is good earnings, and good earnings do not affect acts of worship.
