Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person dies and his brother wants to pay for someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, and this is before his children pay off the debts he owed, because his rights have not yet been settled, is that permissible?
Answer:
That is, he wants to give charity on behalf of his brother and have someone perform Hajj for him. There is nothing wrong with that, if he wants to give charity from his own money and have someone perform Hajj for his brother, there is nothing wrong with that. All right, yes.
