As Salamuu Alaikum,
As I am new to this forum, please forgive any mistakes I make here. I have a question:
My son knows a Muslim man who is incarcerated and may never again taste freedom. He is married to a Muslim woman who wants to take her Hajj and he has given her his permission to go. Once completed for herself, she has the understanding that she may take a second Hajj on behalf of one who cannot go; in this case, her husband.
1) Is she correct? Is it possible to make a second Hajj for one who cannot make the journey?
2) If someone makes Hajj for a second person, is that Hajj credited to the second person as if he/she had completed the journey himself/herself in the eyes of Allah?
Thank you for any wisdom you might share, In'shallah
As Salamuu Alaikum,
Niema Shaheed
