Question
I have a few questions pertaining to the new Hajj system via the Nusuk Hajj app. 1.) In order to pay for the Hajj package, you have to put an e-wallet in the Nusuk app, with the required amount, before applying. If you do not get accepted, you either have to withdraw the funds, paying a 2.75% fee, or forfeit your money if it is left in the e-wallet. It does not roll over to the next Hajj. My questions are:
Answer
Is it permissible for them to charge this 2.75%?
b.) What is the status of forfeited money according to Shariah?
The 2.75% fee is haraam. They are usurping money parasitingly. They are evil parasites who thrive on haraam. The forfeited money remains the property of its owners. Such forfeiture is Haraam. The entire Hajj ibaadat has been commercialized brutally by both the kufr regime of Saudi Arabia and the shaitaani Hajj agents selling their haraam packages. They are shaitaani usurpers.
2.) Since the new system came into effect, the quota for South Africa has been reduced and the old queuing system falls away. This means that anyone who has been for Hajj before can apply and receive the same priority as someone who has never gone. Given the situation, shouldn't those who have completed their Fard Hajj be encouraged to abstain from Nafl Hajj to facilitate those performing Fard Hajj?
Due to the haraam quota system, it is best to afford the opportunity to those on whom Hajj is Fardh. We have always been discouraging Nafl Hajj and Umrah in these times. See our booklet, Tourism in Islam.
