Will The Obligations Of Hajj Be Fulfilled If Sponsored By One’s Employer?
Question
My question is regarding hajj. Me and my wife are working executives in companies with halal income. We are settled enough to go for hajj. This year in the hajj program by my company me and my wife name came out, which means all expenses paid by my company. Would all hajj obligation be fulfilled by company sponsored hajj, despite we have the means to do hajj ourselves?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If the company pays for the Hajj expenses, the Hajj would be valid
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
