Agency in Hajj for one who finds walking difficult due to a fracture

Question:
Abu Ali from Mughayil Asir says: We love the Shaykh for the sake of Allah and we make du'a for him, may Allah preserve him. We say, as-salamu alaykum, Shaykh Salih. He mentions that he has a fracture in his hip joint from about fifteen years ago, which makes it difficult for him to walk, Shaykh, and to perform sa'y. So, is it permissible for him to appoint a proxy for Hajj?

Answer:
If he is able to go to Hajj, perform tawaf, perform sa'y, and go to the sacred sites while being carried, then he is obligated to do so. He is obligated to perform Hajj while being carried. But if he is not able to do that—he can afford it with his money, but he is not able with his body to travel for Hajj—then he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. He appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf, because he is incapable of performing Hajj or 'Umrah himself. So he appoints someone to perform them on his behalf. Yes.
