Question:
The second question from the questioner regarding the pilgrim: Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) for him to bequeath to his family that they perform the sacrifice on his behalf in his home country?
Answer:
If he bequeaths this, they should carry it out, because it is an act of devotion, obedience, and valid. Or if he bequeaths that money be given in charity on his behalf, or that mosques be built with it, or that [something] be done on behalf of the materialists, the assumption is that if he bequeaths any of these acts of devotion, it should be carried out.
