Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father, before he passed away, bequeathed to us that we perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf. He asks: Are we required to perform 'Umrah and Hajj on his behalf? And is this bequest valid?
Answer:
This is an act of dutifulness toward him. This is an act of dutifulness toward him. Even if he had not bequeathed it to you, you would perform Hajj on his behalf as a voluntary Hajj, if he had fulfilled the obligatory one, and you would perform 'Umrah on his behalf as a voluntary 'Umrah. This is an act of dutifulness toward him. If he bequeathed it to you, this becomes confirmed upon you. Yes.
