He died after reaching Puberty and he did not perform Hajj

Question :

My son died when he was 16 years old and he had not performed Hajj before. Am I required to perform Hajj for him?!

Answer:

If the boy or girl reaches the age of puberty or they become 15 years of age (i.e., whichever comes first), it is obligatory on them to perform Hajj if they are able. The person's Hajj performed before reaching puberty does not suffice (for the obligation). So, if the person died after reaching puberty and he had the ability to perform Hajj, Hajj should be performed for him from his wealth or his guardian should perform Hajj for him.
