What is the ruling if a person performs Hajj voluntarily before performing the Hajj of Islam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If one performs Hajj voluntarily before the Hajj of Islam, it does not count as the voluntary act, but rather converts into the Hajj of Islam according to the correct school of thought.
The Shaykh : Now, is this a restriction or not? It is a restriction in the sense that Hajj must begin with its obligatory aspect before its voluntary aspect, but here it is said that it converts into the obligatory act. Why?
Because Hajj differs from other acts; it is permissible for the intention to convert in it, such that if a person performs Hajj on behalf of another while he still owes the obligatory Hajj, and he responds to the call on behalf of the other and completes the Hajj on behalf of the other, whose is the Hajj? It is his, even though his intention from beginning to end was for the other, and it is his. Or if he intends a voluntary act with this Hajj while he has not performed the obligatory one, from its beginning to its end, it converts into an obligatory act, because Hajj, in reality, differs from others in several respects, and perhaps, if Allah wills, we will ask you about the obligatory aspect.
Yes, the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 2529 the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Mishkat al-Masabih 2529
The questioner : The location of the call of the scorpions.
The Shaykh : No, no, he heard him responding to the call on behalf of so-and-so, my brother, with the intention for so-and-so.
The questioner : We said if you, it converts.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, because now, when a part of it converted, the first part he did not intend for himself, and it converted for himself, so likewise the whole. We say: Perform Hajj for yourself, O 'Awn. It is a restriction; it is not possible to perform a voluntary act of the same type, not with another type, do you understand? This rule has branches now, a branch of the authors.

Yes, the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
heard a man say, “ Labbaik on behalf of Shubruma." He asked
سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ عَنْ شُبْرُمَةَ قَالَHe asked who Shubruma was, and the man replied, “A brother of mine," or “a relative of mine." He asked whether he had performed the pilgrimage on his own behalf, and when he replied that he had not, he said, “Perform the pilgrimage on your own behalf, then perform it on behalf of Shubruma."
