Hajj on behalf of a deceased father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner mentions her father and asks for prayers for him, saying that, praise be to Allah, he used to perform Hajj every year. He has passed away (may Allah have mercy on him). This year, I would like to perform Hajj on his behalf. What does the Shaykh advise me to do?
Answer:
This is a good thing and is an act of dutifulness. You enter the state of ihram on his behalf just as you would for yourself, intending that it be on behalf of your father. You perform the Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf, and the reward of it will reach him if Allah the Exalted accepts it. Yes.
