The ruling on appointing a proxy for the rites of Hajj after learning of one's father's death

Question:
The questioner, who resides in Riyadh, says: Last year I performed all the rites of Hajj. On the evening of the Day of Sacrifice, I learned of my father's death, so I traveled and appointed my colleague to perform some of the rites that concerned me, which take place on the eleventh and twelfth days. Is there anything required of me, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
You erred in this, because it is obligatory for you to complete the rites. Allah the Exalted says, "And complete the Hajj and the 'Umrah for Allah." He, Mighty and Majestic, says: This means that one who enters the state of ihram for Hajj has expressed the obligation of ihram, because whoever enters ihram for a rite must proceed with it and complete it. You did not complete it, and it is not sufficient for you to appoint a proxy, because you had no excuse. If you had been ill or unable to perform the overnight stay and the stoning directly, then you could appoint a proxy for the stoning, and the overnight stay would be waived for one with an excuse.
As for the tawaf and sa'y, they do not admit of proxy for a living person; rather, one performs the tawaf while riding or being carried, whether it is the tawaf of ifadah or the tawaf of farewell. So you erred in this, and you owe a fidyah for leaving the overnight stay, and a fidyah for leaving the stoning of the pillars. And if you did not perform the tawaf of ifadah, you must return and perform the tawaf of ifadah and do the sa'y after it.
