The answer

It is permissible to cancel a Hajj request if it is supererogatory (nafilah). However, if it is an obligatory (fard) Hajj, cancellation is permissible only in cases of dire necessity for which there is no alternative. Deception, lying, and unjustly consuming wealth are not permissible; the basic principle concerning these is prohibition, especially concerning the price of airline tickets. As for overtime pay, there is a detailed explanation regarding it. We advise staying away from such practices and seeking another job that preserves rights and does not prevent the performance of Hajj.
