Question:
He says: A brother advised me that when I come to Makkah, I should make supplication for him and pray two rak'ahs for him in the Haram. Should I carry out this advice?
Answer:
As for the prayer, no one prays on behalf of another; the prayer does not admit of representation. As for the supplication, there is nothing wrong with it; you may make supplication for him in the Haram and outside the Haram. Yes.
