Summary
Jumping the Hajj queue through unlawful means, such as bribing an insider, is forbidden and sinful because it wrongs others who already have their own turn. It also contradicts the purpose of performing Hajj. However, applying in a respectable manner, such as requesting discretion or submitting an appeal to the relevant authority, is permitted. Those whose turn has not yet come are advised to follow the procedures set by the authorities.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum memotong giliran haji dengan menggunakan cara yang salah dari sudut undang-undang seperti membayar rasuah kepada orang dalam adalah haram dan berdosa kerana menzalimi orang lain yang telah mempunyai giliran haji masing-masing.
