Summary
Topping up a son's savings to cover the cost of Hajj is permissible and is regarded as a good service in religion. One condition for Hajj to be obligatory is ability, which means having provisions, transport and safety on the journey. In present times, provisions mean sufficient financial resources, whether one's own money or support from others such as a father helping his child.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak ada masalah dengan berbuat demikian. Ini merupakan suatu khidmat yang baik di sisi agama.
