The questioner:
What is the ruling on performing tawaf on behalf of a deceased person, a sick person, or an incapacitated person? Does one perform tawaf on their behalf?
The Shaykh:
One acts on behalf of the sick person and the deceased person. There is no evidence that tawaf alone is performed on behalf of another. The evidence for acting on behalf of another is only for the complete Hajj or the complete 'Umrah. That is what is reported in the hadith. As for tawaf alone, there is no evidence for it. Yes.
