Hazrat Qudamah bin Abdullah al-Rawasi narrates that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair, "My brother passed away without performing Hajj. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He replied, "Does he have any children?" I said, "Except for a small child, he has no one else." He said, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf. Surely, if there was a messenger, he would have sent him to you to fulfill it quickly." I asked, "Should I perform Hajj with his wealth or my own?" He replied, "No, rather do it with his wealth." Then I asked Ibrahim about this matter. He said, "Perform Hajj on his behalf." Then I asked Hazrat Dhahhak. He said, "Perform Hajj on his behalf; surely it will suffice for him, and do it with his wealth."
