Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu Dear Respected Imaam Sahib
I hope this message reaches you in the best of health insha'allah
My question is....can a person who has a lot of debt, give someone else money as a gift so that the other person can perfom hajj for themselves....(not for the person giving the money)
The person giving the money has a savings account on the side and has enough money to give to another person who is hoping to go to hajj this year insha'allah.
is this allowed and will the person receiving the money be allowed tro perform hajj with this money?
jazakhallah

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuAll Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam As a general rule, someone who is not indebted to anyone can perform the hajj. If you are indebted, then you can still perform the hajj, as long as you know that your debts will be managed quite easily in the near future. If they are not, then it is best to clear your debts off first, before showing your generousity of providing others with the opportunity for hajj.The urgency of the Hajj, and savings of the person going, or his contributions could also be additional factors for consideration. Jazak'allah for your question. Wallahu A'lamu BiththawaabM. Waseem Ashrafi
