Question: I intended to perform Hajj on behalf of my mother and came from my country to perform it for her, but at the miqat I entered the state of ihram for Hajj and did not remember that it was on behalf of my mother. Will that Hajj be on behalf of my mother or for myself, even though I have performed Hajj for myself before?
Answer: You are on your intention, if Allah wills; because your forgetting the intention for her when you entered the state of ihram does not harm you, because you only headed to Mecca for this purpose. It is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1 It is agreed upon as authentic.

The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.
إنما الأعمال بالنيات، وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
