Acquire Halaal and Pure Money

Acquire Halaal and pure money with which to perform Hajj. Should one perform Hajj with money from haraam sources, whether it be from bribery or from some other haraam means, the fardh Hajj will be considered to have been discharged, but such a Hajj can never be a Maqbool (accepted) Hajj.

• Where you may be troubled and worried, their words will cause you to keep calm and have patience, and
• When they are learned they will be able to assist your from the treasure of their knowledge.
