Is it permissible for four daughters to perform Hajj on behalf of their mother and perform 'Umrah for her, and is the sacrifice of the pit an innovation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : May Allah keep you. One of you is in the age of their mother, and they are four daughters. He says, he says, let's talk together, is it permissible or not permissible?

The Shaykh : I mean, each one wants to perform Hajj on behalf of her mother.

The questioner : Yes, they lost their mother, may Allah have mercy on her. Yes, four daughters are saying, is it permissible or not permissible?

The Shaykh : No, it has no meaning.

The questioner : There is no objection.

The Shaykh : They are fulfilling their obligatory duty.

The questioner : Yes, individually.

The Shaykh : Yes, praise be to Allah.

The questioner : The Hajj is every four together.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes.

The questioner : And is it better for us to perform Hajj, or is it better for us to perform Hajj with her?

The Shaykh : By Allah, in any case, if they perform the Hajj themselves, it is better.

The questioner : So what is better?

The Shaykh : Yes, because they are certain of performing the Hajj as it should be, yes, and because this is what the Sunnah came with.

The questioner : Yes, not just the red one, if I complete it, is it permissible or not?

The Shaykh : And likewise the 'Umrah, yes.

The questioner : I mean, perform 'Umrah for her, yes. And I have not performed 'Umrah for her for three years, and I am going to the group of the Sunnah, perform 'Umrah for her.

The Shaykh : As long as I have fulfilled the obligatory duty, there is no obstacle.

The questioner : The 'Umrah, yes, that is fine.

The Shaykh : But I would like to clarify that supplication for the dead is better than acts of worship,

The questioner : The supplication.

The Shaykh : Is better because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh :
When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious child, who prays for him (for the deceased).إذا مات الإنسان انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث إلا من صدقة جارية أو علم ينتفع به أو ولد صالح يدعو له
Sahih Muslim 1631
.

The questioner : And indeed.

The Shaykh : Does he perform Hajj for him, or 'Umrah for him, or fast for him?

The questioner : We supplicate for her, meaning supplication.

The Shaykh : So supplication is better, and the person needs his acts of worship, so let the acts of worship be for him and he supplicates for her.

The questioner : Because when we say "I seek forgiveness from Allah, and the reward is for my mother and my father," is it permissible or not permissible? How? Because I said "I seek forgiveness from Allah, and the reward is for my mother and my father," is it permissible or not permissible?

The Shaykh : It is better than this to say, "O Allah, forgive my mother and my father."

The questioner : O Allah, be for my mother, may she be pleased.

The Shaykh : Yes, just as Noah (peace be upon him) said, "My Lord, forgive me and my parents."

The questioner : It goes to the parents.

The Shaykh : Whoever enters the house of a believer, this is better: "My Lord, forgive me and his parents."

The questioner : So, for my parents, I rely on my family, and I do not rely on myself in it.

The Shaykh : No, there is no harm on him, if Allah wills. The permissibility is permissible, but if we asked a questioner, which is better: that I make the acts of worship for myself and supplicate for my dead, or the other way? We said, make the acts of worship for yourself and supplicate for your dead; this is the best.

The questioner : The children's coffee, yes. For example, I have not performed 'Umrah, I performed 'Umrah for my father last year, and I have not performed 'Umrah, but what I intended, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : It has no harm, as I told you, but it is better that the acts of worship be for the person, and for the dead, supplication.

The questioner : Nice, distributed, yes. Is the sacrifice here, we sacrificed for her, is it permissible with the sacrifice of the pit or not? Look, it does not.

The Shaykh : No, this sacrifice of the pit is also an innovation; it has no basis.

The questioner : It has no basis, it is an innovation.

The Shaykh : An innovation, it has no basis.

The questioner : With it.

The Shaykh : The strength of the people is that they sacrifice the sacrifice of the pit and they believe that it is almost obligatory and that no one shares in it, all of this has no basis.

The questioner : It has no basis.

The Shaykh : Absolutely, it has no basis.

The questioner : And clarify here, O her daughters, all of us, there is no problem.

The Shaykh : And the best thing for the sacrifice is that a person sacrifices for himself and his family.

The questioner : The pizza.

The Shaykh : It includes everyone.

The questioner : It suffices for everyone.

The Shaykh : Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who is our example, his wife Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) died in his lifetime, and his uncle Hamzah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib was martyred at Uhud, and he did not sacrifice for any of them.

The questioner : There is no solution for it.

The Shaykh : And he used to sacrifice with a sheep for himself and his family.

The questioner : On this house, yes, and if the pit is an innovation.

The Shaykh : Absolutely, it has no basis.

The questioner : It is urgent, without a sacrifice, what do we say to her? We put it as a sacrifice until without a sacrifice for her the first year, this is the Sunnah.

The Shaykh : No, do not sacrifice for her the first year or the second year. If you want to sacrifice, say, "In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest, O Allah, this is from You and for You, O Allah, this is from us and for our family."

The questioner : My family, one year. It includes.

The Shaykh : It includes the living and the dead.

The questioner : And if he wants to sacrifice for her, meaning one of her daughters sacrifices for her and does not let her share with her.

The Shaykh : No, it is better to leave the sacrifice for everyone.

The questioner : Everyone.
