HAJJUSA of New
York also assist families to have the
Hajj performed on behalf of their deceased families.
The following
Hadith confirms such actions.
It was
reported from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) that a woman
from Juhaynah came to the Prophet
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “My mother vowed to go for Hajj,
but she did not go for Hajj before she died. Should I do Hajj on her behalf?”
He said, “Yes, do Hajj on her behalf. Do you not think that if your mother was
in debt you would pay it off for her? Pay off the debt that is owed to Allaah,
for Allaah is more deserving that what is owed to Him should be paid off.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1754)
Performing
Hajj on his behalf:
It was narrated
from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) heard a man saying “Labbayka ‘an
Shubrumah (At your service, O Allaah, on behalf of Shubrumah).” The
Messenger of Allaah
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Who is Shubrumah?” He said, “A
relative of mine.” The Prophet
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Have you ever done Hajj before?” He
said, “No.” he said, “Do this Hajj for yourself, then do Hajj on behalf of
Shubrumah.”
(Narrated by Abu
Dawood, 1811; Ibn Maajah, 2903 – this version was narrated by him. The hadeeth
was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Irwaa’ al-Ghaleel, 4/171).
