Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Abu Basam says that he has been working in Dammam for four years, and by the grace of Allah, he says, I performed the obligatory Hajj, but this year, if Allah wills, I want to perform Hajj on behalf of my deceased father (may Allah have mercy on him), who did not perform this obligation. What is the method of performing Hajj for a deceased person? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The method of performing Hajj on behalf of a deceased person is the same as the method of performing Hajj for yourself. You enter the state of ihram with one of the three types: tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), which is the best, or qiran (combining 'Umrah and Hajj in one ihram), or ifrad (performing Hajj alone), according to what is easiest for you. However, if you enter the state of ihram as a mutamatti' or a qarin, you are required to pay the fidyah (ransom payment). This is the fidyah of tamattu'. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196]. As for if you enter the state of ihram for Hajj alone (ifrad), you are not required to pay a fidyah. The point is that the acts of Hajj and 'Umrah performed on behalf of a deceased person or another person are exactly the same as those performed for oneself, with no difference, except that the difference lies in the intention. Yes.
