Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Does the hadith "Whoever performs Hajj without committing obscenity or sin" apply to the one who performs Hajj on behalf of a deceased person who did not fulfill the obligatory Hajj?
Answer:
It is hoped for him that he will receive it, but this is for the deceased who did not reject faith and did not die in a state of disbelief. It is hoped for the one who performs Hajj on his behalf, if Allah wills, provided that the deceased did not reject faith and did not die in a state of disbelief. It is hoped for him, along with the reward for the one on whose behalf it was performed, that he will also receive a great reward and be given the like of it, just as the Companions said: “Whoever calls to good will have a reward like that of the one who does it.” So the one who performs Hajj on behalf of his brother, seeking the count of it with Allah and desiring to fulfill the right of his brother and desiring to convey the reward to his brother, it is hoped that Allah will give him the like of it. May Allah’s favor be upon him and He be a witness to it: “Whoever guides to good will have a reward like that of the one who does it.” And if he helps in good and assists in good, it is hoped for him the like of that. Yes. May Allah reward you.
