The questioner : The Shaykh says: He wants to bring his family to perform Hajj, but...
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : He wants to bring his family to perform Hajj.
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The questioner : But the process is very costly for him; he cannot bear it.
The Shaykh : But what is the issue?
The questioner : It is costly for him to the extent that he cannot afford the costs of bringing them for Hajj.
The Shaykh : Is he outside of Saudi Arabia?
The questioner : Yes, his family is outside of Saudi Arabia, but he wants to bring them via 'Umrah because it is cheaper, and keep them there until the season of Hajj arrives, then perform Hajj with them and send them back. Is this permissible, O Shaykh, or not?
The Shaykh : But will you bring them with a mahram or without a mahram?
The questioner : You bring them with a mahram, of course.
The Shaykh : If you bring them with a mahram, what is the obstacle?
The questioner : The stay is not legal; for example, you come for 'Umrah in Ramadan and then stay until Hajj, a stay of fifteen days.
The Shaykh : In any case, this goes back to the government. If it violates the law or does not violate the law, that is up to the government. But the important thing is that he does not bring her except with a mahram. Yes.
