The ruling on one who intends to go to Makkah for work and then intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah

His second question says: I intend to go for work along with Hajj, and the season of Hajj arrived and I went to perform Hajj. Did the obligatory duty fall away from me? Because he came for work but performed Hajj along with the work. He says: Knowing that some people say: It is not permissible to perform Hajj except when we come from Syria. I ask for clarification of this, and may you have my thanks and supplication from the poor one who is in need of Allah: Saleh Sa'id Suwaid from Syria.
Answer: There is no harm in that, whether one performs Hajj from his country intending to do so, or comes to work in al-Madinah or Makkah or elsewhere, and then when the time for Hajj arrives, he proceeds to perform Hajj. All of this is sufficient, with the praise of Allah. Whenever the time for Hajj arrives and he performs Hajj with the Muslims, it suffices for him, even if he came from his country for other than Hajj. For example, if he came from Syria, or from Egypt, or from the Maghreb, or from the East, for work or for trade, and the time for Hajj coincided, and he entered the state of ihram from the miqat, and prayed and performed Hajj with the people, then it suffices for him, with the praise of Allah, without any disagreement we are aware of among the scholars. In fact, this is a point of consensus among the scholars. Even if he was in Makkah itself, if he came to Makkah for work or for trade or to visit some of his relatives, without intending Hajj or 'Umrah, and then it occurred to him to perform 'Umrah from al-Hill, from at-Tan'im or elsewhere such as al-Ja'ranah, and then the time for Hajj arrived and he performed Hajj with the people from Makkah, entering the state of ihram from Makkah for Hajj, that suffices for him, without any disagreement we are aware of among the scholars.
