Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person intends to perform Hajj as a voluntary act and is then asked to perform Hajj on behalf of another person, what is the best course of action for him?
Answer:
No, no, it is better if Allah wills that he proceeds with his intention and performs Hajj for himself as a voluntary act. If he wishes, he may perform Hajj on behalf of someone else, and performing Hajj for his Muslim brother, thereby relieving his brother's obligation, is better and more excellent. Yes.
