Fardh hajj for one who is sponsored to go for hajj

· 3 Shaʻban 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If hajj is not compulsory upon a person due to not having the means, but he is sponsored to go for hajj, will his fardh hajj take place by others sending him for hajj?

Answer

Even though hajj is not fardh upon such a person, through performing hajj with the intention of his fardh hajj, his fardh hajj will be fulfilled.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

When does hajj become fardh, and can I go with debt?

“Since he delayed in setting out to perform his fardh hajj, Hajj-e-Badl will have to be performed on his behalf. However, Hajj-e-Badl will only be compulsory in the case where he made a wasiyyat (bequest) that hajj be performed…”
