The Ruling on Performing Hajj on Behalf of a Deceased Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question is from Abu 'Atiyyah. My second question is that I have two sons who have passed away, may Allah have mercy on them, and they have not performed Hajj. I would like to perform Hajj on their behalf. How much should I give for each one? I would like to give two thousand five hundred for each, or more? May Allah reward you with good. Thank you.
Answer:
Yes, if they have not performed the Hajj of Islam, or if they have performed the Hajj of Islam and you want to perform a voluntary Hajj for them, there is nothing wrong with that. As for the costs, there is no fixed limit, my brother. The costs are according to what you give. It is not permissible to set a condition and say, “I will not perform Hajj except for such and such.” You give him what is sufficient for him; you estimate what is sufficient for him and give it to him. Yes.
