Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Your Eminence, a woman asks: A person died without having performed Hajj, so his children performed Hajj on his behalf. After a period of time, they found a written bequest stating that they should perform Hajj for him. Is the first Hajj performed by the children sufficient, or are they required to perform Hajj a second time?
Answer:
The Shaykh: What appears to be the case—may Allah know best—is that they should perform a second Hajj for him in accordance with the bequest. If they perform more than that, there is no harm. However, they must carry out the bequest he made, because the Hajj they performed was a voluntary act on their part. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Your Eminence.
