Summary
Hajj performed by people who work during the Hajj season, including doctors, nurses, health personnel and Hajj board officers, is valid as long as the pillars and obligatory acts of Hajj are fulfilled. This ruling is drawn by analogy with trading during Hajj, based on Surah al-Baqarah verse 198. Their Hajj is not invalidated and need not be repeated, provided they intend to perform the Hajj.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menunaikan ibadah haji sambil bekerja seperti doktor, jururawat dan kakitangan kesihatan, petugas Lembaga urusan haji dan lain-lain adalah sah selagi ia menepati rukun dan wajib haji.
