Answer:

Hajj umrah pilgrimage on others expense

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: …..i have question if Any sect in islam give money or sponser Haj OR UMRAH For other Muslim, can we do Umrah on there money ?

Although the worship of pilgrimage of Umrah and Hajj to the Sacred House is best done at one’s own expense….there is allowance in Shariah and there is absolutely no harm if one invites their brethren in faith to perform the pilgrimage at his/her expense as a form of their charity and sadaqah to earn the Pleasure of Allah Subhanah.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
