A person performed Hajj on behalf of his deceased companion: Does he need to inform the deceased’s family that he performed Hajj on their behalf?

The questioner : Yes, yes. In another question, a person performed Hajj for himself, and the opportunity arose for him to perform Hajj again, so he performed it on behalf of a deceased relative. He wanted nothing from this except reward and merit, and that his deed be pure for Allah the Exalted. He did not inform anyone about it, not even the children of this deceased person. Is it obligatory for him to inform the children so that they do not perform Hajj on his behalf again, or should he keep this between himself and Allah?

The Shaykh : Is the Hajj he performed on behalf of his companion an obligatory duty or a voluntary act?

The questioner : It is not an obligatory duty.

The Shaykh : He must inform them so that they do not perform Hajj a second time, so that they know that the obligatory duty has been fulfilled on his behalf.
