Question:
Finally, Sister Fawziyah from Riyadh asks: Honorable Shaykh, regarding a woman who has reached the age of forty and has not performed 'Umrah or Hajj, what is required of her if she is currently ill? Does she appoint a proxy for 'Umrah and Hajj? If she is able to perform Hajj now, or if she hopes to be able to perform it in the future?
Answer:
She should wait until her illness is cured and she performs Hajj and 'Umrah herself. However, if her illness is chronic and she is unable to travel for Hajj or 'Umrah because of it, she appoints a proxy to perform Hajj and 'Umrah on her behalf.
