A child performing Hajj on behalf of his deceased father who made a vow

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A person vowed to perform Hajj, then a calamity struck him and he died. Do his children perform Hajj on his behalf?

Answer:
Yes. If a person vowed to perform Hajj and then died before performing it, the Hajj is carried out from his estate by paying the costs of Hajj for someone to perform it on his behalf. If one of his children, one of his relatives, or any Muslim performs it on his behalf as a voluntary act, that is a good thing and it absolves the deceased of his obligation. Yes.
