Q3: Is it permissible for a benefactor to donate to poor students of knowledge or others so that they may perform Hajj on their own behalf, the Hajj of Islam, and is this permissible in the case of voluntary Hajj ?
A3 : Assisting the poor with money so that they can perform Hajj, whether obligatory or voluntary, carries great virtue; because it is a form of cooperation in righteousness and piety. As for the wealthy, they perform Hajj from their own wealth and do not need assistance
