Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Farihan from al-Namasi is with us on the line, please go ahead, Farihan. Farihan is with us. And may Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. May Allah keep you in good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
I ask Allah to increase you in understanding of the religion and to make your knowledge beneficial. May Allah reward you with good. O Shaykh, my father passed away fourteen years ago, and my mother five years ago. I wish to perform Hajj on their behalf, although they performed Hajj many times while they were alive, but as an act of dutifulness. What is your opinion on this? May Allah reward you with good.
The presenter:
Thank you. Thank you.
The Shaykh:
All right.
The presenter:
All right.
The Shaykh:
If you have performed Hajj for yourself, the Hajj of Islam, then there is no harm in performing Hajj on behalf of your father and your mother as the obligatory Hajj of the deceased, if they died without having performed it. Or you may perform a voluntary Hajj on their behalf if they had already fulfilled the obligatory one. This is an act of dutifulness and kindness toward them. Yes.
