Summary
According to the majority view of jurists, which this fatwa adopts, a person who performs Hajj with unlawful money commits a sin but the Hajj is valid, because the Hajj rites are separate from the prohibition on using unlawful wealth. The Hanbali school holds that such a Hajj is invalid. The fatwa stresses that what is truly sought is an accepted and mabrur Hajj, so the funds used should be entirely lawful and free of doubt.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami lebih cenderung berpegang dengan pendapat jumhur para fuqaha yang mengatakan bahawa seseorang yang pergi haji menggunakan wang haram maka hukumnya adalah berdosa dan hajinya dikira sah.
