Renting out the farm instead of selling it to perform Hajj as his father has bequeathed

Q: My father died before performing Hajj, but he made his will before death urging us to sell one of his farms and give the money to someone who could make Hajj on his behalf. I nominated someone else without selling the farm. So, I would like to know whether what I did is sufficient or if I am obliged to sell the land as mentioned in the will. If so, are the heirs entitled to buy the land? Kindly, give us your Fatwa in this regard. May Allah reward you the best.


A: If you perform Hajj on behalf of your father, this is enough, and you are not obliged to sell the land, because the purpose of selling has already been achieved. Therefore, there is no need for selling it. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
