Permissible and Impermissible Cases of Hiring
Issue No. 1213- To hire a person to offer qaḍā prayer and perform other acts of worship on behalf of a dead person is not free of objection, except for ḥajj. If a person wants to hire someone for other acts, he should give the money as a gift and the hired person should perform the act for free (not in return of the money). However, there is no problem in offering the qaḍā of missed prayer and fast and also offering recommended prayer and observing recommended fast with the intention of qurbah (seeking proximity to Allah, the Almighty) and without wages.
