Summary
The ruling holds that an employee should not perform Hajj in breach of the work contract. At that time Hajj is not obligatory on him because he is considered unable (istitaah), and the act may expose him to harm such as legal action. If he nevertheless performs it with the obligatory conditions and pillars fulfilled, the Hajj is valid and the obligation is discharged. However, breaching the contract and the trust is forbidden and sinful, so he is advised to abide by the agreement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun begitu, sekiranya telah melakukan ibadah haji, dengan memenuhi syarat wajib dan rukunnya maka sah serta tertunai kewajipan hajinya.
