Quran 2:198 – Allowance For Seeking Financial Benefits During Hajj Travel
If a pilgrim needs to do the trade as well on the occasion of Hajj, he has to bring with him the items of merchandise with him. So the intention of doing trade must be at the start of the journey. There is no restriction in the verse that the intention for trade must come during the Hajj and not before it. Here you can understand how God sees affairs. When a worldly benefit is not against Him, he allows it. It will become condemnable if one forgets the pilgrim and its obligations and prefer a trade to the pilgrim like he ignores a ritual to perform or ignores the punctuality for rituals while doing business.
