The ruling on one who died without performing Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Yasin Ahmad from Yemen, asks: What is the ruling on one who dies without having performed Hajj, and is Hajj obligatory upon him?
Answer:
If he left an estate, it is obligatory to pay from his estate for someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, meaning to provide for someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, because this is a debt upon him, and it must be paid. It takes precedence over inheritance. However, if he died without any wealth, he owes no Hajj. But if someone wishes to perform Hajj on his behalf as an act of kindness toward him, there is nothing wrong with that.
