The question

What is the ruling on multiple deputizations for Hajj, such as performing Hajj at the expense of the Awqaf while receiving a bonus from the state, and then performing Hajj on behalf of another for money? And what is the ruling on the Hajj of the supervisor (guide for pilgrims) at the expense of the state, and is it permissible for him to repeat that every year? And is it permissible for him to perform Hajj on behalf of another for money or without money? And what is the ruling if the supervisor falls short in his duty? And does the obligation of Hajj fall away from the one deputizing through deputization?

The answer

It is not permissible for a person to perform Hajj on behalf of more than one individual, because Hajj is an individual act of worship that requires a separate intention for each person, and partnership in it is not valid. The proof for this is that the Prophet, peace and blessings be be upon him, commanded a man who wanted to perform Hajj on behalf of "Shubrumah" to first perform Hajj for himself and then for Shubrumah.

As for someone who bears the expenses of Hajj for others or acts as a guide, there is no objection to him performing Hajj on behalf of others for a fee, unless the donor stipulates that Hajj should not be performed on behalf of others for a fee, or if that would compromise his guiding mission. The obligation of Hajj is lifted from a person if another person performs Hajj on their behalf due to their inability, such as old age or an illness from which recovery is not expected, provided that the proxy performs Hajj in accordance with Islamic law.
