Question

I belong to a upper middle class family. I have some money in possesion of me. I wanted to perform HAJJ. Now, who should perform HAJJ first me or my mother?

Answer

Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,

If you possess the money and the money is in excess of your debts and is sufficient to perform Hajj, then Hajj is compulsory on you, not on your mother.

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best,

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
