Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on behalf of my sister, who is alive but does not have the money for Hajj? Which is better: that I perform it on her behalf, or that I give her money so she can perform it herself?
Answer:
Yes, as long as she is physically able, she should perform Hajj. However, she is not obligated to perform Hajj as long as she does not possess the provisions and means of travel, or is not able to afford it. But if you give her money and she becomes able, she should perform Hajj herself, carrying it out with her own person.
