Ability, finances and the hajj queue
Is Hajj valid if a person uses takaful compensation money to pay for it?
Answer in brief
It is permissible to use takaful compensation money to perform Hajj. The fatwa explains that the money comes from the tabarru' fund contributed by participants, so it counts as a lawful source of income. The fatwa also advises that one's provision be used well and not wasted.
