Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man appointed someone to perform Hajj on behalf of his mother, but he later learned that this person had taken on many such appointments. What is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
The ruling in this case is that it was obligatory for him to verify the person’s character and not give his appointment to anyone or appoint anyone without first verifying the person’s reliability and trustworthiness. As for one who plays tricks and takes on multiple appointments, he is only seeking money and using the name of Hajj as a means to obtain money. This person is not trustworthy, should not be appointed for Hajj, and his appointment does not suffice. Yes.
