The questioner : Peace be upon you, Honorable Shaykh, Shaykh Muhammad. Shaykh Muhammad, a questioner is with you now, please, please, I ask.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, how are you? I am well, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : I intend this year, if Allah wills, to perform Hajj on behalf of my father. Yes, I intend to perform Hajj on behalf of my father. My father has passed away. Is it obligatory for me to mention his name at every pillar of Hajj?
The Shaykh : Did you book for yourself or not?
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory to mention his name at every pillar. Rather, when entering the state of ihram from the miqat, you say: “Labbaik (Here I am) on behalf of so-and-so’s father.” You say it when entering ihram from the miqat: “Labbaik on behalf of so-and-so’s father.” That is all. That is all.
The questioner : But at the jamarat (stoning pillars) and at the tawaf (circumambulation).
