Hajj on behalf of a deceased father before performing Hajj for oneself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a young man asking. He says: My father passed away without having performed the obligatory Hajj, and I want to perform Hajj on his behalf, but I have not performed Hajj myself. He says: My father passed away (may Allah have mercy on him) without performing the obligatory Hajj, and he wants to perform Hajj on his behalf. He says: And I too have not performed Hajj. So should I perform Hajj for myself and then for my father, or should I prioritize my father’s Hajj?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to perform Hajj on behalf of your father until you have performed Hajj for yourself. If you have performed Hajj for yourself, you may perform Hajj on behalf of your father the following year. And if you pay the costs and appoint a person to perform Hajj on your behalf, that is permissible even if you have not performed Hajj for yourself. However, if you personally perform Hajj on behalf of your father while you have not performed Hajj for yourself, that is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man saying the talbiyah and saying: Shubrumah. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
