Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My Mother Expired last year(May allah bless him jannah) She was planning to go for Haj this year along with us.(ME My wife,My Father) As she is not more, I would like to take some one for haj e Badal, Some people say that to do haj-e-badal one who has done his haj can only do. Is it compulsory for a person doing haj-e-badal to be haji himself. As I wish to take some poor person along with me, Who has not done haj before. But would like to know from you first. Is it valid for that person to do haj e badal, Though he has not done his haj. Also To my understainding a man can do haj e badal for a woman.(Please correct if I am wrong) Do remember Entrie ummah in your dua

Answer

(Fatwa: 593/450/D=1431)

(1) The person who is going to perform hajj-e-badal, if hajj has become fardh on him then it is makrooh tahrimi for him to perform hajj-e-badal. And if hajj is not fardh on him, performing hajj-e-badal for him is makrooh tanzihi i.e. but in both the cases hajj of the person for whom hajj-e-badal is performed will be valid. So it is better for you to take such a person who has performed his hajj already. Hajj also would be accepted if you take such a person who has not done his hajj. In first instance, hajj will be accepted with karahat tahrimi and in the second with karahat tanzihi.

(2) Yes, a man can do hajj-e-badal for a woman.
