If one possesses wealth and is able to perform Hajj, then dies, does he perform Hajj on his behalf?

The questioner : If he possessed the wealth and the ability to perform Hajj but did not perform it until he died, does he perform it on his behalf?

The Shaykh : And he was able to.

The questioner : And he was able.

The Shaykh : Yes, the school of thought holds that it is performed on his behalf, but Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding Hajj and zakah: If we know that the man intentionally left it off, then it is not performed on his behalf, because that does not benefit him. He said that this is what the legal principles require, and what he said is the correct view. If we know that a person intentionally left this off and was negligent, we do not perform it on his behalf for Hajj, except according to the opinion of those who say that it is not an immediate obligation.
Then it is cut off. As for zakah, what Ibn al-Qayyim said is sound, but it may be said that another right is attached to zakah, namely the right of the zakah recipients. Therefore, the heirs must pay it to them, because if the deceased was negligent in it, the zakah is a right belonging to others, so it is paid out. Yes.
