Hajj on behalf of a living, incapacitated parent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you, is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on behalf of my father if he is alive but unable to perform Hajj?
The Shaykh:
Is it the obligatory Hajj or a voluntary one?
The questioner:
It is not clear.
The Shaykh:
If he is unable to perform Hajj with his wealth and unable to perform Hajj with his body, he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf and pays for the costs of Hajj and travel, because he is able with his wealth but not with his body, so the one who performs Hajj on his behalf suffices. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
