Appointing a proxy to perform Hajj on behalf of a patient with kidney failure

Question:
A patient with kidney failure is in a state of suffering that only Allah knows. Is it permissible for him to appoint a proxy to perform the obligatory Hajj on his behalf, or must he perform it himself?

Answer:
If a person is unable to perform Hajj himself and it is not expected that the illness or the impediment will be removed in the future—meaning it is a chronic illness that cannot be cured—and he has the obligation of Hajj upon him, then he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. This is because a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My father has reached the age of the obligation of Allah in Hajj, but he is unable to stay mounted . Perform Hajj on behalf of your father. If he is unable to perform Hajj himself, has not fulfilled the obligation of Islam, and it is not expected in the future that the impediment will be removed due to old age and decrepitude or a chronic illness, then it is obligatory for him to appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. Yes.
