Wishes
to change the intention for the Hajj whilst in 'Arafah
*Please appropriately
reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: A man made the intention
to perform the Hajj for himself, whilst he has previously
made the Hajj. Then he decided to change his intention for
his relative whilst in 'Arafah.
So what is the ruling regarding this and is it permissible?
Response:
A person, if he enters the state of ihraam for Hajj for himself,
cannot change the intention after that, neither en route nor
in 'Arafah
nor any other place. Rather, it is imperative he completes
the Hajj for himself and does not change it for his father
nor his mother and nor anyone else. Rather, the Hajj is specific
for him (now) for the saying of Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala):
{and
complete Hajj and 'Umrah for (the Sake of) Allaah}.
So,
if he enters the state of ihraam for himself, it is obligatory
he complete it for himself. If he enters the state of ihraam
for other than himself, then it is obligatory that he completes
for other than himself and does not change (the intention)
once he enters the state of ihraam.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
