Summary
Hajj performed with expenses given by one's children is valid, and the fifth pillar of Islam is fulfilled. Children are not obliged to bear their parents' Hajj costs, but doing so falls under showing kindness (ihsan) to parents. Hajj performed this way is accepted by Allah SWT.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
haji yang dilakukan oleh seseorang dengan menggunakan wang yang diberikan oleh anak-anak adalah sah dan tertunailah rukun Islam yang kelima ke atasnya.
