The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of a bedridden person in a voluntary pilgrimage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! My father is bedridden, and he has performed Hajj many times. He wants me to perform Hajj on his behalf this year using money he has. Is that valid for him?
Answer:
A bedridden person, or one who is paralyzed, if he has already fulfilled the obligatory Hajj of Islam, then he owes no Hajj, and no one performs it on his behalf. One only performs it on behalf of another for the obligatory Hajj, if the person is unable to perform it himself. That is for the obligatory Hajj. As for the voluntary Hajj, there is no evidence that one may perform it on behalf of another.
