The ruling on preventing an employee from performing Hajj until after five years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This company deals with Muslim workers, and their regulations do not allow them to perform Hajj except once every five years. They say: We give the company’s agent money so that we can perform Hajj every year...?
Answer:
The Shaykh: And what do we give?
Q: We give "money."
The Shaykh: A bribe?
Q: Yes; it makes things easier for us.
The Shaykh: No, no, you must follow the instructions; because the state’s intention is to ease the burden on pilgrims. A decision was issued by the Council of Senior Scholars stating that there is no harm in this for the benefit of the pilgrims, the benefit of the Muslims, who have already performed the obligatory Hajj, praise be to Allah.
Q: Is the prohibition mentioned to them?
The Shaykh: It is not permissible.
