Stoning on behalf of the sick and the farewell tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I have brothers with me who are suffering from some illness. Is it permissible for me to stone the pillars on their behalf, and for them to leave Mina for al-'Aziziyah and stay there until after 'Isha', and then perform the farewell tawaf after 'Isha'? Does the farewell tawaf become waived for one who is unable, such as a sick person? Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

The Shaykh:
If they have an illness that prevents them from stoning, and stoning is difficult for them, you may delegate the stoning to someone else, and then you may leave before sunset for al-'Aziziyah or any other place, and then perform the farewell tawaf whenever you wish. Praise be to Allah.

The questioner:
This questioner says:

The Shaykh:
The sick person performs the farewell tawaf while being carried; the sick person is carried. As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, there is no farewell tawaf required of them. Yes.
