Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is Hajj obligatory for one who died in jihad because he did not perform the obligatory Hajj? And who is more deserving of performing Hajj on his behalf? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Hajj is obligatory, even if one dies in jihad; Hajj is required.[Ali 'Imran 3:97] If he has an estate, Hajj is performed on his behalf from his estate. One is appointed to perform Hajj on his behalf, and the cost of Hajj is paid from his estate. However, if he has no estate, then whoever desires good and benefit for the deceased—whether from his relatives or others—may volunteer to perform Hajj on his behalf. Such a person has a great reward in doing so.

وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
