Best of you

18. "The best of you are the best of you in fulfilling [rights]." [Ahmad, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

10. `Umar (ra) said, “Do not learn knowledge for three things and do not leave it for three things. Do not learn it to dispute over it, to show off with it, or to boast about it. Do not leave seeking it out of shyness, dislike for it, or contending with ignorance in its stead.”

Salafs sayings

Quote: "A man will never fear something besides Allah unless it be due to a disease in his heart."
Scholar: Ibn Taymiyyah

Perform Hajj for your Parents and you will be rewarded

 


Question:

Our parents died and they did not perform the obligation of Hajj, nor did they leave a testament concerning it. Should we perform Hajj for them and how is that done?
Answer:

If they were well-off in their lives and they were able to perform Hajj with their wealth, you are obligated to perform Hajj for them from their wealth. If you perform Hajj for them with wealth other than theirs as an act of charity on your part, then you will be rewarded for that. However, if they were in difficult circumstances (i.e poor) you do not have to perform Hajj for them. Or if one of them was poor, you do not have to perform Hajj on behalf of the one that was poor .However, if you want to be generous and perform Hajj for them, you will receive a great reward and that is a form of kindness (to parents).
