The ruling on one who took money to perform Hajj on behalf of his deceased daughter and died before performing the Hajj
Your Eminence! A man married his daughter to a man and stipulated that he should perform Hajj with her. After that, the daughter passed away, and her husband did not perform Hajj with her. So the father took money from the husband to perform Hajj on her behalf. After a period of time, the father passed away, and he had not performed the Hajj either.Now his son is asking: Should I perform Hajj on behalf of my father to clear his conscience, or what?
He should perform Hajj on behalf of his father, and this is obligatory from his father’s estate and is a debt upon his father. If the son performs Hajj on his own and saves the money for the heirs, there is no harm in that.
