The ruling on performing Hajj at the expense of another person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks and says: I am twenty-one years old, and I have a sister who works abroad who offered to pay for me to perform the obligatory Hajj. Is this permissible in the Shari'ah? Knowing that I do not work and I have no money, I ask for clarification. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, if your sister commits to the financial support, may Allah reward her with good. Allah says:
cooperate in righteousness and pietyوَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى
[Al-Ma'idah: 2], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And Allah is engaged in helping the worshipper as long as the worshipper is engaged in helping his brother.والله في عون العبد ما كان العبد في عون أخيه
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1425Sahih (Darussalam)
.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs.من كان في حاجة أخيه كان الله في حاجته
Sahih al-Bukhari 6951
agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. So if your sister, or your brother, or your uncle, or your maternal uncle, or your father, or your mother commits to the financial support, may Allah reward them with good, and you owe nothing and there is no blame on you. Yes.
