Hajj on behalf of one who died while not praying

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: What is the ruling on one who died while not praying, and his sister performed Hajj on his behalf?

Answer:
If he died while not praying, intentionally abandoning the prayer, not praying with the congregation and never praying intentionally, then he is a disbeliever. One does not perform Hajj on his behalf, nor seek forgiveness for him, if he died without repenting to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And if someone performs Hajj on his behalf, the Hajj is for the one who performed it, not for the deceased who is in this state.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
