Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, we move to Dammam via a message sent by listener Ibrahim Ali from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. Our brother wrote his message in his own style. He says: My uncle has passed away, and he left behind eight daughters. After the division of the inheritance, which consists of lands and a sale, there is a sister of my wife who wants to perform Hajj this year after receiving her inheritance. My question is: If she has not performed Hajj for herself, but she wants to perform Hajj this year and give someone from her relatives to perform Hajj
Answer:
on behalf of her father, then that is permissible. There is no harm in that. If she chooses a person to perform Hajj on behalf of her father, and this person has already performed Hajj for himself, and she pays him what helps him with the expenses of Hajj, then there is no harm in that, even if she has not performed Hajj for herself. What is prohibited is for her to perform Hajj on behalf of another person while she has not performed Hajj for herself. So if she appoints a proxy to perform Hajj on behalf of her father, and this proxy has first performed Hajj for himself, then there is no harm in that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well.
