Summary
There is a hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad from Buraidah RA that likens spending on Hajj to spending in the way of Allah, with a reward multiplied 700 times. The hadith is graded hasan li ghairihi, although its chain is weak, because other narrations support it. Some scholars also cite Surah al-Baqarah verse 261, on the multiplied reward for spending wealth in Allah's way, as supporting evidence.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nafkah untuk haji seperti nafkah di jalan Allah dengan 700 kali ganda.
