The Ruling on the Sacrifice for Tamattu' and the Farewell Tawaf for a Voluntary Proxy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person appointed another to perform Hajj on his behalf, and this proxy is from the people of Makkah. So, is the sacrifice for tamattu' obligatory upon him? And is the farewell tawaf obligatory upon him?

Answer:
If the proxy is performing Hajj on behalf of another as a volunteer, and the one on whose behalf it is performed is not from the people of Makkah, while the proxy is from the people of Makkah and is a volunteer, then no sacrifice is required of him, because the consideration is given to the pilgrim, who is the proxy. However, if the proxy was appointed by the guardians of the deceased to perform Hajj on behalf of the deceased, and they gave him the expenses for Hajj, then the expiation is required of him, because the consideration in this case is given to the one on whose behalf the Hajj is performed. They even said that it is obligatory for the proxy in the case of an obligation to walk from the country of the one on whose behalf it is performed. So, the expiation is required if he was appointed and took payment, but if he was a volunteer, the ruling pertains to him.
