Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to perform the lesser pilgrimage on behalf of my deceased mother, and what is the condition for this?
Answer:
Yes, if the deceased woman did not perform the 'Umrah of Islam or did not perform the Hajj of Islam, then you perform it on her behalf. This is because a woman asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about that, saying that her father had reached the age of the obligation of Allah in Hajj, but he was unable to stay on the mount. She asked, "Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?"Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2399 Is it permissible to act as a proxy for the obligatory Hajj when the person himself is unable to perform it due to old age or a chronic illness? Yes.
