Ruling on traveling with the intention of Hajj and work

A message was received for the program from the brother: Ahmad Saleh Idris, a Sudanese working in the Kingdom. He says: I intended to work in the Kingdom, but leaving Sudan is not possible except through Hajj. So I came and performed Hajj, and I have remained seeking work until now. What is the ruling on the Hajj in this state?
Answer: There is no harm, and praise be to Allah. You intended Hajj, even if you had another intention. If a person leaves his country for Hajj and for another purpose, such as trade, or work, or visiting relatives, the matter is broad in this regard, and praise be to Allah. Your Hajj is valid, and we ask Allah to make easy for you work that is beneficial, useful, and permissible.
The presenter: But our brother describes this as a form of deception, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: Making it a means is not a problem. Making it a means for work is not a problem. It is as if he makes it a means for trade. He is obligated to want to trade, but there is no way except through Hajj. So he performs the Hajj rituals and trades. The scholars have stated this explicitly, and that there is no harm for the carrier, the trader, and others. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you and reward you with good.
