Question:
The questioner says: Is it valid for me to perform tawaf around the House and intend the reward of the tawaf for my mother while she is still alive?
Answer:
While she is still alive? No, this is only for the deceased, where one performs tawaf on their behalf, or performs 'Umrah on their behalf, or performs Hajj on their behalf. As for the living person who is able to come, one does not perform Hajj, 'Umrah, or tawaf on their behalf, because he is able to come himself. However, you can perform tawaf for yourself and make du'a for her, performing tawaf for yourself and making du'a for her during the tawaf and at other times, and the du'a benefits her by the permission of Allah. Yes.
