Hajj on behalf of two deceased grandmothers

The questioner : I say, my brother. Yes. If Allah wills, I intend to perform Hajj. Yes. And I want to go down to the people of Makkah without entering the state of ihram. Is that possible?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible, my brother. It is not permissible. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated the miqat times, and obligated anyone who passes through them intending Hajj or 'Umrah to enter the state of ihram. It is not permissible for a person to delay entering ihram and thereby transgress the limits of Allah.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Indeed, . Yes.

The questioner : Okay, I intended to perform Hajj for my maternal grandmother, my mother’s mother, who had passed away. Yes. And then my paternal grandmother, my father’s mother, was well in the past years, but no Hajj took place, and then my paternal grandmother passed away. So, of course, she is dear to me, or I saw her, or I saw her tenderness. So I am intending right now, this is the promise I was making, that I would perform Hajj for my maternal grandmother, my mother’s mother. Today I am saying, no, for my paternal grandmother, my father’s mother. Or no. So what is your opinion, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Did you not perform the obligatory Hajj for both grandmothers? Did you not perform the obligatory Hajj for both of them?

The questioner : I do not know. Suppose.

The Shaykh : Begin with your father’s mother.

The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Begin with your father’s mother, if you have already performed Hajj for yourself.

The questioner : Yes, praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.

The questioner : I mean, I start, of course, with my grandmother, my mother’s mother. My father’s mother.

The presenter : O Shaykh, may you be well every year, my brother. May Allah bless you. May Allah reward you.
