Sa

a friend was offered by his employer full sponsorship to fund his haj.

does he have to accept it and go for haj or can he refuse it?

[Muhammad Mahdi]

I am no scholar but if he has no other obligations then this offer makes him a mustati and it then becomes obligatory on him to do haj

[qamar]

2048. If a person is offered the expenses of his return journey to Makkah, as well as the expenses of his family during the period of Hajj, Hajj becomes obligatory on him, even if he is indebted, and does not possess means of support with which to lead his life after his return.
But if the days of Hajj and the days of his work coincide, meaning that if he abandons his work and goes for Hajj, he will not be able to pay his debts in time, nor support himself for the rest of the year, Hajj will not be Wajib on him.
