Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: If I perform Hajj on behalf of a person, and I have already performed the obligatory Hajj, will I receive the reward of a Hajj?
Answer:
You receive the reward of the supplication, the reward of the prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram, and the reward of the supplication at the sacred sites. Any acts of obedience beyond the rituals of Hajj are for your own reward. As for the rituals themselves, they are on behalf of the person for whom they were performed. Yes.
