She bequeathed a Hajj on behalf of her father, and her son performed it from her personal funds

Fatwa No. ( 7693 )
Q: My mother was ill, and my maternal uncle and I were sitting with her, so she bequeathed a Hajj for her father . My uncle is not her brother from both parents, but rather her brother from the children of her paternal uncle. My mother has since passed away, and I contacted my uncle and told him about the Hajj, but he replied that he had not heard of it. I performed the Hajj for her father, and the travel costs were paid from my mother’s money, while my own money came from my father’s earnings. I
do not know whether I fulfilled the bequest, knowing that my mother had already performed Hajj for herself, and I had performed Hajj before this bequeathed Hajj. After that, my uncle came and said: “Let us divide the costs of the Hajj from the money.” I refused and said: “This is my mother’s money.” I ask for guidance on this matter, and whether the Hajj for my uncle is to be shared with me in the money, or whether my money and my mother’s money are sufficient, since my mother’s father is my uncle’s paternal uncle?
A: If the situation is as you described, your Hajj for your maternal grandfather is sufficient to carry out her bequest of Hajj and fulfill it. It is obligatory to refrain from dividing the costs of this Hajj between you and your uncle. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
