Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A paralyzed brother says to me: I want someone to perform Hajj on my behalf. Should I inform him before the Hajj or after?
Answer:
Regarding the obligatory Hajj. If he is paralyzed and unable to perform Hajj, and he has not yet fulfilled the obligation, he must appoint you. He must appoint you to perform Hajj on his behalf, because this requires intention, and intention is necessary. Hajj is an act of worship, and worship is not valid without intention. So he appoints you for this. Yes.
