The Ruling on Naming and Supplication in Acting as a Proxy for Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is the proxy obligated to make supplication for the person who appointed him in every location, or is it sufficient for him to mention the name when entering the state of ihram?
The Shaykh:
The proxy, is he obligated?
The questioner:
So, is he obligated to make supplication for the one who appointed him in every place where he performs his rites?
The Shaykh:
This is a different question when it concerns naming and mentioning the one for whom one acts, versus when it concerns supplication. The intention is sufficient regarding the one for whom one acts. If you intend that you are entering ihram on behalf of so-and-so, that is sufficient. So, if you enter ihram and say, "Labbaik (I am here) on behalf of so-and-so"?
There is no harm in this. The ProphetMishkat al-Masabih 2529 died, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him) Mishkat al-Masabih 2529 a span. He did not object to explicitly naming the person for whom the pilgrimage is being performed; rather, he instructed him to perform Hajj for himself first. However, the matter hinges on the intention; the intention is essential. As for mentioning his name in the talbiyah, if he says it, there is no harm, and if he omits it, there is no blame. Regarding supplication, what is required of the proxy is to stand in the evening, to perform tawaf, to perform sa'y, to stand at 'Arafah, at Muzdalifah, and in Mina, and to perform ramy al-jamarat (stoning the pillars). This is what is required of him. As for du'a' (supplication), it is for himself. And if he includes the person for whom he is performing the pilgrimage with him, what then?
This is among the virtues of acting as a proxy in Hajj: a person receives the reward for standing in the sacred sites, remembering Allah, responding to the call, and enduring hardship in the sacred sites. The reward is for him. A prayer in the Sacred Mosque is worth a hundred thousand prayers; this is for him. The supplication is for him. Say, "And if he includes the one for whom he is acting with him." As for what is required of him, it is to perform the rites on behalf of the one who appointed him. Yes.

There is no harm in this. The Prophet
God's messenger heard a man say, “ Labbaik on behalf of Shubruma." He asked who Shubruma was, and the man replied, “A brother of mine," or “a relative of mine."
صلى الله عليه وسلم سمع رجلا يقول لبيك عن شبرمة، قال من شبرمة؟ قال أخ أو قريب ليHe asked whether he had performed the pilgrimage on his own behalf, and when he replied that he had not, he said, “Perform the pilgrimage on your own
