Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 610/484/D=1434) It is far better to send such a person who has already performed hajj and is well aware of the rulings of hajj. It is makrooh tahrimi to send such a person who has not performed hajj while it was fardh on him. But if hajj was not fardh on him then it is not better to send him, though hajj shall be valid.
