Selling Hajj visas
Question: 14228
What is the ruling on selling Hajj visas which are obtained with great difficulty?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It
is not permissible for a person to take a visa for himself when he does
not intend to perform Hajj. If he obtains a visa for himself and intends
to go for Hajj, then he changes his mind, then he should only sell it
for the same amount that he spent to obtain it. In other words, it is
not permissible to obtain Hajj visas for trade purposes in order to
exploit the poor Muslims and those who want to perform Hajj; rather
the Muslim should help others to do good and help his Muslim brothers,
not exploit them. And Allaah knows best.
