Borrowing to provide for someone to perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman asks and says: My mother passed away and she did not perform Hajj, and I was unable to perform Hajj on her behalf. Is it permissible for me to borrow a sum of money to provide for someone to perform Hajj on her behalf?
Answer:
No, borrowing is not required for the sake of Hajj. As for a woman who dies, if she has estate money, it is taken from her estate and Hajj al-Islam is performed on her behalf. If she has no money, then there is no Hajj upon her. Allah the Exalted said: “Whoever is able to make the journey.” If she is not able, then there is no Hajj upon her. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
