What is the ruling on performing Hajj without a permit?

Question:
What is the ruling on performing Hajj without a permit, when there are some groups that do not have a permit and they take the pilgrims out while they are without a permit? Is this Hajj valid, and is there a sin upon them if they perform this obligation in this manner?

Answer:
Answer: The Hajj is valid, but it is accompanied by sin, and it is a violation of the regulations established by the one in authority for the benefit of the people and the benefit of the pilgrims. Obedience to the one in authority is obligatory, because he seeks thereby the benefit of the people and the organization of Hajj. His Hajj is valid, but he is a sinner and commits a sin in his Hajj. A person should not commit a sin in order to perform a recommended practice. Hajj is a recommended practice if it is performed more than once; and disobedience to the one in authority is forbidden, so one should not commit a forbidden act in order to do a recommended practice.
