Is it permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of an incapacitated patient, and the ruling on the term "lady"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe. Yes.
The questioner : Okay, may you live long. Regarding a woman who is ill and cannot perform Hajj, is it possible for her son to perform Hajj on her behalf?
The Shaykh : What, what?
The questioner : A lady who is ill and cannot perform Hajj, is it beneficial for her son to perform Hajj on her behalf?
The Shaykh : And is it an obligation or not an obligation?
The questioner : It is an obligation.
The Shaykh : Okay, first, you said she is a lady who is ill. What is befitting for us is to call women by their names, so we say "a woman who is ill." Yes.
The questioner : A woman who is ill, yes, yes.
The Shaykh : As for using the term "lady" for a woman, this came to us from the West, and there is no mention in the words of Allah and His Messenger that a woman should be called "lady."
The questioner : Rather.
The Shaykh : "Woman" and "female" and the like, do you understand?
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And we are Muslims, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : It is agreed between us that we adhere to the terms brought by the Shari'ah, especially when the alternative terms imply something that contradicts the Shari'ah, which is elevating women and assessing them above men.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : That is one point. As for the question, if this woman is unable
The questioner : She is in Egypt, right?
The Shaykh : I say, if she is unable to perform Hajj due to old age or an illness that is not expected to end, there is no harm in her son performing Hajj on her behalf, provided he has already performed the obligation for himself. This is based on the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman from Khath'am came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father has reached the age where the obligation of Allah upon His servants in Hajj has overtaken him; he is an old man who cannot stay on the mount. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said, "Yes."
The presenter : Thank you, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. It is clear. Thank you, may Allah reward you all with good. May Allah bless you. Thank you. Peace be upon you. Goodbye. Goodbye.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe. Yes.
