Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about a man who performs Hajj on behalf of another. "Will he receive any reward or recompense?" The Imam عليه السلام replied: "The one who performs Hajj on behalf of another receives the reward and recompense of ten Hajj. He is forgiven, along with his father, his mother, his son, his daughter, his brother, his sister, his paternal uncle, his paternal aunt, his maternal uncle, and his maternal aunt. Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is all-encompassing and generous."
