Question
Reference number: 604088 | Pilgrimage: Hajj and Umrah | May 2, 2023
What is the ruling on going on Hajj instead of someone else whose name was chosen by lot?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
If someone was selected or chosen by lot to perform Hajj, and then they could not, they must refer to the organization responsible for these affairs, and they cannot send someone else. The organization may choose people who are in priority.
