Hajj and 'Umrah on Behalf of a Suicide
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: His aunt died by suicide. Is it permissible for him to perform Hajj or 'Umrah on her behalf?
Answer:
Yes, because she is a Muslim. However, the act of suicide is a crime and forbidden. Otherwise, she would be forbidden [to be prayed for], but one does not become a disbeliever by slitting one's throat. So she is a Muslim; he performs 'Umrah on her behalf and gives charity on her behalf. Yes.
