Voluntary Hajj for Oneself or for a Close Relative Who Has Died
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have performed the obligatory Hajj, praise be to Allah, and I want to perform a voluntary Hajj. What is better: that I perform it for myself a second time, or that I perform it on behalf of a close relative who has died?
The Shaykh:
If the deceased did not perform the Hajj of Islam, you perform it on his behalf. But if he did perform the Hajj of Islam, you perform the voluntary Hajj on his behalf; you are more deserving of the voluntary Hajj.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
