Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a person who takes on the performance of Hajj on behalf of another in order to use the fee to pay off a debt he owes?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but the money should not be allocated solely for the expense; it should be allocated for the act of worship. It should be allocated for the act of worship, so that he benefits his brother, the one on whose behalf he is performing it, and he also benefits himself through supplication.
The presenter:
Yes, the worship performed at the sacred sites, the prayers, the sacred sites, and standing with the Muslims, he receives a reward, and the one on whose behalf it is performed receives a reward for the ritual. Yes.
