Performed
Hajj for deceased mother but not for deceased father
*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: I performed Hajj on behalf of
my mother after her death, and did not perform Hajj for my
father after his death. So is there any sin upon me for having
left off performing Hajj for my father?
Response:
There is no sin upon you for having left off performing Hajj
for your father. This is because it is not obligatory upon
you to perform Hajj on his behalf. However, from honouring
and being good (to your father) is to perform Hajj on his
behalf, as this is incorporated in the general statement of
ihsaan (doing good) which Allaah has commanded in His saying:
{And
be dutiful to your parents}, [Soorah
al-Israa., Aayah
23].
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.
