The Saudi embassy issues free Hajj visa.

Answer

Selling the free visas is haraam. The Saudi authorities are the first in line of blame for this corruption. They have made it unnecessarily difficult for the people. The agents are corrupt and so are the bodies who are officially recognized by the Saudi authorities to be in charge of Hajj affairs. The entire system, right from the Saudi rulers downwards, is corrupt and haraam. If someone wishes to go for Hajj and the only way in which he is able to do so is to pay a bribe to procure a visa as is being done presently, then the taker of the bribe is sinful, not the one who gives the bribe in this case. The Fuqaha have ruled that it is permissible to pay a bribe to acquire one's Haqq. The extortionist is sinful. It is permissible to perform Hajj even if the visa was acquired in corrupt ways. And Allah knows best. The only solution for a vile institution such as SAHUC is for it to be dismantled.
