The ruling on a son performing Hajj on behalf of his sick mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude with a question we received from one of the sisters. She says: Honorable Shaykh, in truth, I was lax in performing Hajj until I am now old, approaching fifty. She says: I am now afflicted with heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Honorable Shaykh, one of my sons, who is dutiful to me, should he perform the Hajj of Islam on my behalf?
Answer:
Yes, if you have not performed the obligatory Hajj of Islam, and you are now unable to perform Hajj directly yourself, and you do not hope in the future that the impediment will be removed, but rather the excuse for not performing Hajj directly continues, then you must appoint someone to perform Hajj on your behalf. Yes.
