Bequeathing Hajj with an amount that is insufficient
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He bequeathed that Hajj be performed on her behalf for one thousand, but the cost of Hajj has increased, and the heirs did not agree, so what should be done with this bequest?
Answer:
If the one thousand or the amount he bequeathed does not cover the costs of Hajj, then it is impossible to carry out the bequest for Hajj. It should be directed to another act that benefits the deceased, or it should be invested in a small amount of capital to grow, and this is the best. The best is that it be grown through buying and selling until it reaches the cost of Hajj.
