The Ruling on Performing Tawaf Around the Ka'bah on Behalf of Another Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to perform tawaf around the Ka'bah on behalf of my mother?
Answer:
There is no evidence for this, and leaving it is preferable. You should perform tawaf for yourself and make du'a for her during your tawaf. You may also make du'a for other relatives of yours who are Muslims. This is because I am not aware of anything authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicating that tawaf is performed on behalf of another person. One only performs Hajj on behalf of another, or 'Umrah, either a complete Hajj or a complete 'Umrah. As for performing tawaf for so-and-so, or so-and-so, there is no evidence for it to my knowledge. One performs tawaf for oneself and makes du'a for whom he loves. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
