1. If the deceased did not leave behind enough money, from a third of which Haj-e-Badal could be made, however, an heir provides the balance from his/her own pocket then the Haj-e-Badal should be carried out.
2. More than a third of the estate cannot be used to carry out the Haj-e-Badal.
3. If, however, all the heirs consent to their shares being utilized for the purpose of Haj-e-Badal, then more than a third of what the deceased left behind can be used.
4. The consent of minors – those who have not reached the Shar’i age of majority – is not valid, however. Therefore, money should not at all be used from their shares.
