The questioner:
And his report from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He was asked: Does the one who is in the state of ihram not buy the lives of those in ihram?
The Shaykh:
The transmission is sufficient in that case.
The questioner:
Or, Professor Shaykh, what about the one who entered the state of ihram for another person and did not enter it for himself, and he returned to that? Ayman says: Does the ihram count as being for himself, or for the one on whose behalf he entered it?
The Shaykh:
It is for himself; it is Hajj for himself. Yes, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Perform Hajj for yourself.” So he says, “The Hajj is for himself, not for the one he intended it for.”
