One who intended to perform Hajj for himself as an individual, but upon arriving in Makkah wanted to perform Hajj on behalf of his father; is that permissible for him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... He had performed Hajj before, and then, after arriving in Makkah, he wanted to perform Hajj on behalf of his father.
The Shaykh : He performed Hajj for himself as a voluntary act from the miqat.
The questioner : O Shaykh, if you would allow, a follow-up question to the previous statement.
The Shaykh : The mention of the question serves as a substitute for this question.
Yes?
The questioner : He intended it at the miqat.
The Shaykh : Yes, he intended it at the miqat, and what type of Hajj?
The questioner : As an individual.
The Shaykh : He intended Hajj as an individual. If he intended Hajj as an individual, then first: he contradicted the guidance of the Messenger (peace be upon him) and his command to convert his Hajj to 'Umrah. Second: he must follow the Messenger (peace be upon him) and convert his Hajj to 'Umrah; that is, make his Hajj an 'Umrah. Third: it is obligatory for him to complete the Hajj as He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196], and he cannot renew his intention to transfer the Hajj to another person, since he had already contracted it for himself. This is the answer to your question.
Yes.
