Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner also says: I have not performed Hajj for a period of time. Is it permissible for me to appoint someone to perform Hajj on my behalf, even though I am able to perform Hajj myself?
Answer:
One does not perform Hajj on behalf of another except for one who is unable, either due to old age or a chronic illness. As for the one who is able to perform Hajj himself, he does not appoint a proxy as long as he is alive and able to perform Hajj himself. The appointment of a proxy is only for the one who is unable or for the deceased. Yes.
