Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding Hajj, and for one who intends to perform Hajj on behalf of another, what is the ruling on delegation in Hajj? Does it have conditions?
Answer:
It is permissible when there is a need. Is delegation in Hajj permissible? It is permissible for the very old person who cannot perform Hajj himself, and for the person with a chronic illness who cannot perform Hajj due to it and whose recovery is not expected. These two appoint someone to perform the obligatory act, the obligation of Hajj, on their behalf. There is a hadith in which a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: and he is unable to stay mounted Sunan an-Nasa'i 2641 on behalf of your father. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
