Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My father has passed away, and I am performing Hajj on his behalf. I am trying to ensure that the one performing Hajj on his behalf performs the obligatory Hajj, knowing that my father had already performed Hajj. Is this considered among the righteous deeds?
Answer:
This is among the righteous deeds, but it is not the obligatory Hajj, because you said that your father performed Hajj, meaning he fulfilled the obligation. Therefore, this Hajj is voluntary, and its reward is for him.
