Question:
What is better for the deceased: that we make du'a for him and give charity, or that we perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf?
Answer:
All of it is prescribed: Hajj on behalf of the deceased, 'Umrah on behalf of the deceased, charity on behalf of the deceased, and making du'a for the deceased. All of this is prescribed, praise be to Allah. There is no doubt that Hajj and 'Umrah have a great virtue in them; they have a great virtue because of the hardship, the expense, the travel, and standing at the sacred sites involved in them. And nothing is better than charity.
