Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with the calls. We take the call from Khalid from Abha. Go ahead, Khalid. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy. May Allah give you all a good evening. Welcome. Shaykh Salih, may Allah reward you with good. I am the agent for the heirs. Their father passed away, and they have inherited money from their father. Their father did not perform the Hajj of Islam. Is it permissible for me to pay for a Hajj for my father from their money, even though they are still young orphans?
Answer:
Yes, this is one of the rights attached to the specific estate before inheritance, namely the Hajj of Islam. It is a debt owed to Allah the Exalted and Mighty. Therefore, one must hasten to appoint someone to perform the Hajj and give him what is sufficient for his expenses in the Hajj, both going and returning. Yes.
The presenter:
Is there anything else, Khalid? Thank you.
