Summary
A person travelling to Mecca for hajj or umrah must set the intention to perform an act of worship, in line with the definition of hajj given by some scholars including the Hanafi school. Once that intention is set, buying other goods is permitted. The respondent adds that he is unaware of any such trade as the one asked about.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
hendaklah meletakkan nawaitu untuk beribadah seperti takrifan haji oleh sebahagian ulama termasuk Mazhab Hanafi. Adapun selepas itu, membeli barangan lain adalah dibolehkan.
