Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Can I give another man a sum of money so that he can perform Hajj on behalf of my deceased father?
Answer:
Yes, there is no harm in that, but the pilgrim’s intention must not be the money. If his intention is the money, his Hajj is invalid. However, if he takes the money to help him with the Hajj, and his intention is to benefit the deceased, and to obtain reward for standing at the sacred sites, and for his supplication and prayer in Makkah at al-Masjid al-Haram, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
