[Q-ID0022] I am going to the Haramayn as a Doctor, will my Hajj be accepted?

QUESTION:

I was given an offer to go to Hajj as the doctor of the Hajjis. I have finished the medical University and the Muslim community in my country needs a doctor and I was given the offer,but free of charge. Not only they won’t take money,but will give an amount for the service done during Hajj as a doctor. Now,my concern is:

(1)- Is Hajj accepted as I will make Hajj at the same time apart from serving as a doctor? (2)- I only seek the pleasure of Allahu Ta’ala, please advise me.

ANSWER:

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم) said: “Verily actions are according to their intentions.”

If your sincere intention is to perform the Hajj for the pleasure of Allah and you see this opportunity offered to you as a means of attaining that goal then that is a great blessing indeed. If you were to accept the offer of your journey expenses being paid for, with the intention of delivering the Hajj, whilst offering your medical services during your journey there would be no harm in that even if you are to be given a monetary recompense for those services.

Allah knows best.
