The answer

It is permissible to sell the right to travel for Hajj that a person obtains through a lottery, because it is a right that has value and entails material benefit. This can be analogized to selling the right to subscribe to shares, and selling the right to apply to the Real Estate Development Fund. A number of contemporary scholars have permitted this.
