Reward for performing Hajj on behalf of another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Does the one who performs Hajj on behalf of another receive the reward of the pilgrim?
Answer:
It depends on the intention. If his aim is to perform Hajj on behalf of his brother to do him a favor, and at the same time he stands at the sacred sites and makes du'a' for himself, performing the rites on behalf of his brother while making du'a' for himself in these sacred sites and noble places, then two rewards are combined for him: the reward of benefiting his brother by acting as his proxy, and the reward of having done the work for himself in these sites, where he prayed, made du'a', and stood. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
