May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, he also asks: Is it permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of my mother, who is in Egypt, but she cannot walk and cannot bear the hardship of Hajj? Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on her behalf? If she is very old and cannot travel or ride,
Answer:
She cannot ride due to her old age, or due to a chronic illness that prevents her from riding to perform Hajj, or traveling to perform Hajj, and you have already performed Hajj for yourself, then there is no harm in your mother appointing you as her agent to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
