The Ruling on the Proxy or the One Who Appoints the Proxy in the Hajj of a Resident of Makkah on Behalf of a Non-Resident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man from outside Makkah is unable to perform Hajj due to his illness, so he appointed a man from among the people of Makkah as his proxy. Is the ruling based on the condition of the proxy or the one who appointed him, given that the ruling for a resident of Makkah differs from that of a non-resident regarding the sacrificial animal, the arrival tawaf, and similar matters?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a difficult issue, and it was presented during the time of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him). It was presented, and as it appears to me, he seems to hold that the ruling is based on the proxy, not the one who appointed him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
