Question:
As salaam waleum wa rehmatullahi wa barakaatu ya Sayidi,
How are you? Ramadan Kareem to you and your family.
My father-in-law always wanted to do Hajj with his daughter, my wife. He
passed away last year. Now my mother-in-law says she will pay for my Hajj
and wants me to do Hajj for my father-in-law. Hajj e badal.
I haven’t done my Hajj yet. Just did Umrah.
What does Sharia order me? Do I need to do my Hajj first or can I do his first?
Jazaakallah khair and please do remember us in your dua.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam ya Sayyidi and may this find you well.
It is allowed according to Abu Hanifa and Malik. See
