Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks, may Allah preserve you, about the intention or delegation in Hajj on behalf of his mother. What are the implications?
Answer:
Delegation in Hajj is not permissible except for a deceased person or a living person who is unable to perform the obligatory duty. A living person who is unable to perform the obligatory duty but has financial means, yet cannot do so physically, either due to a chronic illness or old age and advanced age, may appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. It is a condition for the delegate that he be of legal age and that he has already performed Hajj for himself first. Yes.
