I am a well-to-do person; I would like to know can I use “Hajj Subsidy” by applying through Hajj Committee? Is it allowed in Islam to use the money which is not ours to perform Hajj like in case of “Hajj Subsidy”? Please reply in details.
Answer
(Fatwa: 1184/765/L=1432)
In case of doing hajj through hajj committee, if the government gives some kinds of concession, getting this benefit is lawful for each and everyone. There is no harm in it as per the Shariah.
