Is there anything like hajj-e badal or its just an innovation?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>In  principle every person benefits only from those acts of worship that he  himself has done. He may also benefit indirectly from those acts of  worship that he has caused or encouraged to be done. Going to Hajj is no  exception.<\/p>\n<div>However  if a person really has desire of going to Hajj and has the intention to  go and has the means as well however due to some reasons cannot fulfil  his intentions then he may send another person to perform the Hajj on  his behalf. Also if a person take a pledge to perform Hajj but dies  before being able to fulfil his pledge, it will be advisable for his  children or inheritors to perform the Hajj on his behalf just as they  would pay a debt on his behalf. <\/div>\n<div>The narrations you referred to are generally about these situations, like this one:<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Ibn  `abbas (ra) says that once a woman from Juhainah came to the Prophet  (pbuh) and asked: My mother had vowed to perform hajj but could not  carry out her vow and died. Can I perform hajj on her behalf? The  Prophet (pbuh) said: Yes, perform hajj on her behalf. If your mother  owed a debt to someone, wouldn&#8217;t you have paid it on her behalf? Pay her  debt towards Allah, on her behalf. Allah deserves most that the debts  owed to Him be repaid.&#8221; (Bukhari, Kita&#8217;b al-Hajj) <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-16<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6295\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is <em>hajj-e badal.<\/em> I just read that in USA somebody can perform <em>hajj<\/em>  for somebody else for $1500.00.
