The woman who is unable to provide the funds or a mahram: is she permitted to appoint someone to perform Hajj on her behalf?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Umm Mus'ad from Dammam, says: If a woman wants to perform Hajj but cannot find a mahram or the funds, is she among those who have no means to perform Hajj, even if that cause persists until death? Without a doubt. And does she owe anything for that? No. And is it permissible for her to bequeath that Hajj be performed on her behalf, meaning the obligatory Hajj? Please give us a ruling. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The one who is unable to perform Hajj, either due to poverty or physical incapacity, is not obligated to perform Hajj, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: However, if one is able to perform it with his wealth but not with his body, and the inability is continuous and not expected to end, he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, because he is able to perform Hajj with his wealth, so he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf.
