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, but this is for the deceased who did not refuse and did not hold back, and who did not perform Hajj on his own. It is hoped for him, if Allah wills, if he did not refuse and did not hold back. 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 that he will be given the like of it, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So the one who performs Hajj on behalf of his brother, seeking the reward and desiring to fulfill the right on behalf of his brother and desiring to convey the reward to his brother, it is hoped that Allah will give him the like of it. The favor of Allah is vast. Sahih Muslim 1893a And if one assists in good and helps in good, it is hoped for him the like of that. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
