The questioner : Salih al-Raymi. He says: A man’s mother passed away, and he wanted to have someone perform Hajj on her behalf, and this was arranged. What are the conditions that must be met by the man to whom this is entrusted?
The Shaykh : The conditions are that he must have performed Hajj for himself. How? I say: he must have performed Hajj for himself. The one given the task to perform Hajj must have performed Hajj for himself; that is the first condition. The second is that he must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) as much as he can in performing the rites in the required manner.
