Hajj on behalf of a deceased person through agency and writing the name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I performed Hajj on behalf of my grandfather, who has passed away. I appointed the Al-Rajhi Company and wrote my name in the appointment, while the name listed was my grandfather's. What is the ruling on this, and do I have to repeat it?
Answer:
There is no problem with it. Whether it is in your name or your grandfather's name, it is sufficient. The one for whom the Hajj is performed is your grandfather, because he is the one for whom the Hajj is being done, and your name is there because you are the one performing it. There is no harm in this.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
