Is it permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of the maternal uncle who left no child?

Q 2: My maternal uncle died leaving no child. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj or `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) on his behalf? He performed Hajj and `Umrah in his life, but I desire that the reward of this good deed reaches him because of my great love for him.

A: If you have performed Hajj for yourself, then it is permissible for you to perform Hajj on behalf of your deceased maternal uncle, as this is a good sign of gratitude toward him.
