Hajj

[Shining]

Salam Alikom to all.

We are aware that the government of Saudi Arabia has launched a war on the people of Yemen while also supporting and financing terrorist activities in some parts of the middle east. In such case, is it permissible that we go to Hajj, when we know that some of the money that we spend for the Hajj Pilgrimage, may be used by the Saudi government to finance it's wars and other terrorist activities? If we do go, doesn't this mean that indirectly we are financing the killing of innocent people in Yemen, Syria etc?

Ma' Sallam.

Salam. You made good points.

I asked that same question a few days ago to my brother. It's really something to think about.
