The Ruling on Performing Hajj on Behalf of a Deceased Person’s Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from al-Bahah says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away, and he did not take my aunt, who is his second wife, to perform Hajj. Is it obligatory for me and my older brother to perform Hajj on her behalf? And is there any sin on my father for that?
Answer:
If she had stipulated that he should take her to perform Hajj or perform Hajj on her behalf, and he died without fulfilling the stipulation, then it is made up on his behalf from his estate. May Allah reward you with good. If no one clears his estate of this debt and he left behind an estate, the amount required to perform Hajj for the wife is taken from the estate to be spent on her for her Hajj. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
