The Ruling on Performing Hajj on Behalf of a Deceased Father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This question was sent by the listener Jabir 'Ali 'Abd Allah Hazazi, and everyone is on one sheet. The question says: My father passed away and did not perform the Hajj. Is it permissible to make up the Hajj on his behalf, or not?
Answer: If he was wealthy, it is obligatory that the Hajj be performed from his money. If he was unable to afford it, he owes nothing. However, if you perform the Hajj on behalf of your father, that is good, and this is an act of kindness to your parents. If you perform the Hajj on behalf of your father, even if he was poor, if you perform it on his behalf, you have done well, and this is an act of kindness to your parents. You perform the Hajj and the 'Umrah on his behalf. As for if he was wealthy but was negligent, the obligatory thing is that the Hajj be performed on his behalf. If you perform it on his behalf from your own resources, may Allah reward you with good. If you do not perform it on his behalf, it is necessary to extract money to be given to a trustworthy, honest, and righteous person to perform the Hajj on his behalf. Yes.
