Summary
The ruling is that takaful compensation money may be used to perform Hajj. The money comes from the tabarru' fund contributed by the participants, so it counts as a lawful source. The ruling also cites the juristic maxim that the default status of things is permissibility unless evidence indicates prohibition. Users are advised to spend their provision well and avoid wastefulness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
