Question:
Umm Aymun sent a question, saying: If a person has not performed the obligatory Hajj, is it permissible for him to perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person, meaning: to give a sum of money to someone to perform the obligatory Hajj for that deceased person? And what are the conditions of Hajj? And what must be present in the person who will perform the Hajj? The question is somewhat confused.

Answer:
There is no harm in a person having someone else perform Hajj on his behalf with money he spends, even if he has not performed Hajj himself. So if a person gives money to some trustworthy people to perform Hajj on behalf of his father or his mother, or his wife or his brother or the like, there is nothing wrong with it, even if he has not performed Hajj for himself. What is prohibited is for a person to perform Hajj with his own body on behalf of someone else; he does not perform Hajj on behalf of another until he has performed Hajj himself. If he is a pilgrim with his own body, he does not perform Hajj on behalf of another except if he has performed Hajj for himself.
As for if he seeks the help of another and gives money to another to perform Hajj on behalf of his father or his mother or his brother, or otherwise, there is no harm in that; because the pilgrim is the other person, not he himself, rather he has only spent his money in that. Yes.
