The Ruling on Performing Hajj and 'Umrah on Behalf of a Deceased Person Who Practiced Sorcery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from outside this country, and he says: My father dealt with sorcery, then Allah the Exalted took him. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf, given that he died while still doing so?
Answer:
If he considered sorcery permissible, do not perform Hajj on his behalf. But if he did not consider it permissible, seek forgiveness for him and perform Hajj on his behalf, because he was upon Islam, but he was a sinner. Yes.
