Is it showing off (riya') to inform people that one performed Hajj for oneself or for one's parents?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A person says, "If one performs Hajj for himself, he must announce to people that I performed Hajj." Do you see any showing off in this?
The Shaykh : Meaning, he informs people that he performed Hajj.
The questioner : Because they say that on the Day of Resurrection, the soul will dispute, saying, for example, if he performed Hajj for his soul and performed Hajj for his father or mother, and they demand it on the Day of Resurrection, they will say, "These are the people," and then the people will come and say, "No, it was..."
The Shaykh : Correct, it is not this.
The questioner : It is not correct.
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : Meaning, he does not announce it, okay.
The Shaykh : He does not announce it; he says, "Labbaik, Labbaik, Allah, 'Umrah."
The questioner : Yes. No, my intention, Honorable Shaykh, is regarding education. I understood that a person says it, but my intention is for the people, meaning, "I performed Hajj for myself, if Allah wills," or "I performed Hajj for my father," or "I performed Hajj for my mother."
The Shaykh : Yes. No, he does not inform people; there is no need for it.
The questioner : No, he does not say it; he does not say anything.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. I also say that if a person prays, he does not go and inform people, saying, "Look, I prayed."
The questioner : If he is asked about it, there is no need; it is widespread among many people.
The Shaykh : There is absolutely no need for it.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
