The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of a Quran reciter in exchange for him donating the reward of his recitation

Question: I have a friend in Egypt who is a Quran reciter. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf, on the condition that he recites the Quran several times and donates the reward of that to my father?

Answer: If he is unable to do so, like an old man, an old woman, or a sick person whose recovery is not expected, then it is permissible for you to perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf, and you will be rewarded. However, this is without that condition, but rather as a voluntary act from you, or with money he gives you to perform Hajj on his behalf. As for reciting on behalf of you or anyone else, there is no basis for it in the Shari'ah.
