Hajj paid for by father inlaw

Assalaam-u-alaikum repected Mufti,

I need some clarification regarding Hajj – I performed Hajj about ten years ago with my wife and my wife’s parents. As I could not afford Hajj at that time my father in law paid for the entire trip for all of us. Has my Fard Hajj been fulfilled as I have heard that if I did not take possession of the money then my Hajj is not fulfilled.Please advise.

JazakAllah
