Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have a mother who resides with my younger brother, and he will perform Hajj this year, if Allah wills. He used to offer a sacrifice on behalf of both himself and her. The question is: Is it permissible for my older brother, whose home is about fifty meters from ours, to intend a sacrifice on behalf of both himself and her, even though she does not live with him?
Answer:
It is a good thing. If you all offer a sacrifice on her behalf, there is no objection. Whether the one is in the town or outside the town, even if he is a thousand kilometers away, it does not contradict this. It is an increase in good and an increase in reward. There is no objection. Yes.
