Is it permissible to perform Hajj for oneself and for one’s mother in a single Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Likewise, a man intends to perform Hajj on behalf of his mother, but he has never performed Hajj at all. So, should he combine them?
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : Should he combine them? Meaning, he has never performed Hajj, so he intends to perform Hajj for himself and for his mother at the same time. Is that valid?
The Shaykh : No, it does not happen.
The questioner : Meaning, he should perform his Hajj individually for himself, and then afterwards...
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : Now, suppose someone says that his two parents are able to perform Hajj, but they are lazy and do not want to. Is it permissible for their son to perform Hajj on their behalf as a voluntary act?
The Shaykh : As a voluntary act, he will do everything for them and they will receive reward, but the obligatory duty does not fall off their shoulders.
The questioner : Yes, they must perform the obligatory duty if they are able.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
