Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one performs Hajj on behalf of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is his Hajj valid or not?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has a reward like the rewards of his Ummah (Muslim community). He has the reward of one who performs Hajj, the reward of one who performs 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), the reward of one who prays, and the reward of one who fasts. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 4609Sahih (Al-Albani) So there is no need for us to perform Hajj for the Messenger or 'Umrah on behalf of the Messenger. There is no need for this, because this is already attained for him (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
