The ruling on intending Hajj on behalf of one’s mother after the tawaf and sa’y

Question:
This questioner, whose name is Habib al-Rahman, says: I performed Hajj for myself last year, and this year I intended to perform Hajj ifrad. I performed the tawaf of the pilgrim and the sa’y, and I did not intend it for anyone but myself. So at this point, is it permissible for me to intend it for my mother, who is present in this Hajj? If I intend it, is it invalid?

Answer:
It is better for you to complete it for yourself, and to shorten your hair and exit the state of ihram, then perform an ‘Umrah, and then enter the state of ihram for Hajj. But today is the Day of ‘Arafah; if you shorten your hair and intend it as an ‘Umrah, and then respond to the call for Hajj, that is better. If you continue, then the Hajj is for you. As for your mother, leave it, if Allah wills, for another year. When he entered the state of ihram for himself, he descended. Intend it for yourself, yes.

May Allah reward you with good.
