Hajj on behalf of parents if they are deceased or unable to perform it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Ali Ahmad from Jeddah, says: I want to perform Hajj on behalf of my parents, or arrange for someone to perform Hajj on their behalf. What is prescribed for me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If your parents are deceased, there is nothing wrong with you performing Hajj on their behalf, or appointing someone to perform Hajj on their behalf, because acting as a proxy is permissible in this case for the deceased. Likewise, if your parents are alive but unable to perform Hajj due to illness or old age—illness that is not expected to end, or old age—and they have not fulfilled the obligation of Islam, then there is nothing wrong with you performing Hajj on their behalf, or appointing someone to perform Hajj on their behalf in this case. Yes.
