Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to perform tawaf and dedicate the reward to my father and mother while they are alive, and to my deceased grandfather?
Answer:
By Allah, as far as I know, there is no evidence for performing tawaf on behalf of another person. Evidence has only come regarding performing 'Umrah on behalf of another, and Hajj on behalf of another. As for tawaf alone, I do not know of any evidence for it. If you want to benefit the person you wish to help, make du'a for them, and make du'a for yourself and for them during the tawaf. Yes.
