    Title: Can one send his father on a nafli hajj before himself doing an obligatory hajj?

    Question: Question no. 1: My uncle is sending his father(who is not a sahib-e-istitaat) on hajj this year while cant go himself because of work. Hajj is obligatory on him but he plans do it next year and money is not a problem. Can he send his father on a nafli hajj before himself doing an obligatory hajj?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 629/528/B=1432) Your uncle can send his father for nafl hajj if he has already performed his own hajj. And he can perform his own hajj later. But, if his father did not perform his fardh hajj, he should be sent to perform fardh hajj so that his obligation is fulfilled.
