The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I bear witness to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, that I love you for the sake of Allah, except that... My question, Honorable Shaykh, is that I arranged for a deceased Shaykh, and I did not come to Hajj except with the intention of performing Hajj on behalf of this Shaykh. When I entered the state of ihram, I combined the 'Umrah with the Hajj as a tamattu' pilgrim, but I did not say that it was for so-and-so, nor did I intend that. When I began the prayer, I remembered it and made du'a for him. When I performed the sa'y and broke my fast, and entered the state of ihram for Hajj from the Sacred Mosque, I said, "Labbaik Allahumma Hajjan for so-and-so," and that was on the morning of the ninth day, as I inform you, Honorable Shaykh, that there remained money from what I was given for the Hajj on behalf of this person.
The Shaykh:
We give you.
The questioner:
From what I was given for the Hajj on behalf of this person, and the one who gave it to me said to me, "Perform Hajj and 'Umrah with this money."
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. I bear witness to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, that I love you for the sake of Allah the Exalted. My question, Honorable Shaykh, is that I arranged for a deceased Shaykh, and I did not come to Hajj except with the intention of performing Hajj on behalf of this Shaykh. Otherwise, I took the intention of ihram for the house with the 'Umrah, combining it with the Hajj as a tamattu' pilgrim, and I did not say that it was for so-and-so, nor did I intend that, but rather I began with a story.
The Shaykh:
Forgetting, did you not intend it? Hmm? Is there anything? Yes.
The questioner:
And when I began the prayer, I remembered it and made du'a for him. I performed the sa'y and shortened my hair, and entered the state of ihram for Hajj in the Sacred Mosque. I reached the point of saying, "Labbaik Allahumma Hajjan for so-and-so," and that was on the morning of the seventh day. As I inform you, Honorable Shaykh, that there remained with me money from what I was given for the Hajj on behalf of this person, and the one who gave it to me, my relatives, said, "Perform Hajj and 'Umrah with this money on behalf of so-and-so," and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh:
There is no poet for him, and the inscriptions are for him, and the 'Umrah is for him, and the Hajj is for him; because the one who sent it, his entire coming is for him. This is a forgetting that has occurred more than once in these questions. Yes.
