Question:
Yes, may Allah bless you. One of the sisters says: My father is unable to perform Hajj himself due to illness, but he is able to appoint a proxy with his money. Is it permissible for him to appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf?
Answer:
Yes, this is permissible. It falls under the category of representation. If he is unable to perform the obligatory act, physically incapable but financially able, he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf and pays him the cost of the Hajj. Yes.
