Donating the cost of a voluntary Hajj to the mujahideen is better

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Which is more preferable for a Muslim who has already fulfilled the Hajj that Allah has made obligatory upon him: is it more preferable to perform it as a voluntary act, meaning for the second time, or to donate the value of the Hajj expenses to the mujahideen so that those people can stand firm against the enemies of Allah?

Answer: For one who has performed the obligatory Hajj, it is better to donate the cost of the second Hajj to the mujahideen in the path of Allah; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was asked: "Which deed is the best?" He said:
Faith in Allah and His Messenger.إيمان بالله ورسوله
. The questioner said: "Then what?" He said:
striving in the path of Allahالجهاد في سبيل الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 2486Hasan (Al-Albani)
. The questioner said: "Then what?" He said:
An accepted Hajjحج مبرور
. It is agreed upon that it is authentic.
So he placed Hajj after jihad, and what is meant by it is the voluntary Hajj; because the obligatory Hajj is a pillar of Islam with the ability to perform it.
And in the two Sahihs, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:
He who equips a fighter in Allaah’s path has taken part in the fighting. And he looks after a fighter’s family when he is away has taken part in the fighting.من جهز غازيًا فقد غزا، ومن خلفه في أهله بخير فقد غزا
Sunan Abi Dawud 2509Sahih (Al-Albani)
.
And there is no doubt that the mujahideen in the path of Allah are in the greatest need of financial assistance from their brothers, and spending on them is better than spending on a voluntary Hajj; because of the two hadiths mentioned and others.
