سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ لَهُ ابْنٌ لَمْ يَدْرِ أَ حَجَّ أَبُوهُ أَمْ لَا قَالَ يَحُجُّ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَبُوهُ قَدْ حَجَّ كُتِبَ لِأَبِيهِ نَافِلَةً وَ لِلِابْنِ فَرِيضَةً وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَبُوهُ لَمْ يَحُجَّ كُتِبَ لِأَبِيهِ فَرِيضَةً وَ لِلِابْنِ نَافِلَةً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, raising it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a man who died and for him was a son who did not know whether his father had performed Hajj or not’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should perform Hajj on his behalf. So if it was such that his father had performed Hajj, an optional (Hajj) would be Written for his father, and for the son, the Obligatory (Hajj); and if it was such that his father had not performed Hajj, an Obligatory (Hajj) would be Written for his father, and for the son, the optional (Hajj)’.
