Hajj on behalf of a deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: May Allah bless you. Is it permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of a person who has passed away and did not perform Hajj?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to perform Hajj, because Hajj admits of representation. So if a person dies without having performed Hajj, Hajj is performed on his behalf. This is done either by paying from his estate the amount needed to perform Hajj on his behalf, if he left an estate, or if one of the charitable people volunteers to do it, or if a relative performs it on his behalf. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:1836 His guardian performed Hajj on his behalf. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
