Question:
The second question. The second question is about a person who did me a favor, and I made du'a for him, but I did not feel that I had repaid his kindness. After that, I performed 'Umrah and said, "I am giving this 'Umrah to him." He says: A person did me a favor, and I performed 'Umrah for him, Honorable Shaykh, with the intention of giving the reward of this 'Umrah to him?
Answer:
This is a good thing, a good thing, because it is in return for his kindness. However, one must intend at the time of entering ihram, at the time of making the ihram contract, that he is performing 'Umrah or Hajj on behalf of so-and-so. Yes.
