A worker unable to perform Hajj due to poverty, but his guarantor paid him what was sufficient for his Hajj, so he went to perform Hajj last year with his companions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says: Your Eminence, the Shaykh! A worker unable to perform Hajj due to poverty, but his guarantor paid him what was sufficient for his Hajj, so he went to perform Hajj last year with his companions. He entered the state of ihram for Hajj there, but he was separated from his companions and returned to Unaizah on the morning of the ninth day without completing his Hajj. He passed away in the last part of Ramadan this year. Is it obligatory for his heirs to perform Hajj on his behalf, given that they are poor?

The Shaykh : It is not obligatory for them to perform Hajj on his behalf, because one who is unable to complete his rites due to death does not have them completed for him.
