Hajj on behalf of a deceased woman from outside her home country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman died without having performed Hajj, and she has relatives. However, if her relatives from her home country perform Hajj on her behalf, there is a concern regarding the safety of the journey. Is it permissible for someone other than a relative from that country to perform Hajj on her behalf?
Answer:
If she has a relative in her home country, that relative should perform Hajj on her behalf from there. But if she has no relative there, and someone wishes to perform Hajj on her behalf, let him perform it from wherever he is, praise be to Allah, and not from Makkah.
