Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, she says: My brother is mentally disabled, and he has not performed 'Umrah, nor has he performed Hajj. He has reached the age of twenty-three. Should we perform Hajj on his behalf, or should we take him with us for 'Umrah?
Answer:
If he does not have it and his mind is confused, then Hajj is not obligatory upon him. However, if his mind and intellect are sound, but he is physically unable to perform Hajj due to an impediment in his body, then he must perform it by being carried, and he must do the rites he is unable to perform on his behalf, or appoint someone to do them for him. Yes.
