Proxy Hajj and paid Hajj may not be commercialised through advertisements to the public, as such offers lead to fraud and the manipulation of people's money, and the authorities should stop them.

Summary
Proxy Hajj and paid Hajj may not be commercialised through advertisements to the public, as such offers lead to fraud and the manipulation of people's money, and the authorities should stop them. A person may still ask a trusted individual who knows the rulings of Hajj and holds a Hajj permit or visa to perform Hajj for himself or for another. That individual must have completed his own obligatory Hajj and may not perform proxy Hajj for more than one person in a single Hajj season.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
