Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the sister says: My son passed away at the age of seventeen due to a serious illness, and he had not performed Hajj. I am his mother, and I have no relatives either. How can I perform Hajj on his behalf?
Answer:
If you wish to perform Hajj on his behalf, and if you are able to do it yourself by having a mahram (a relative one may not marry) with you and going to perform Hajj for him, then do so. If you are unable to do so, appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, and you pay the costs of the Hajj. Yes.
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
