Question:
The questioner says: My grandmother did not pray and she has passed away. I want to perform Hajj on her behalf. What is the ruling, given that I have already performed the Hajj of Islam?
Answer:
If she abandoned the prayer intentionally and died while still abandoning the prayer, she is not a Muslim; she died upon other than Islam, so you do not perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes, unless she repented before her death. If she repented to Allah before her death, and you know that, or someone you trust informed you that she repented, then perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
