Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of a living, able person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O our daughter, is it permissible for me to give [the reward] to the wife of the 'Umrah, who is the family of life, but the necessity is difficult to get here, not because of illness, but due to the family's follow-up and their intercession?
Answer:
No, no. A living person does not perform Hajj on behalf of another, nor 'Umrah, except if he is an old man or suffering from a chronic illness and is unable to attend at all, in which case someone may act as his proxy. As for a sane person who is able to attend, it is not permissible for someone to act as his proxy; the proxy is only for the one who is unable.
