The Obligation of Hajj on One Whose Hands Are Paralyzed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a brother who is twenty years old, but his hands are almost paralyzed; to the extent that he cannot put on a garment without someone’s help. Is Hajj obligatory for him?
Answer:
Paralysis does not prevent Hajj. Is Hajj obligatory if he is able, having money to perform Hajj, and the paralysis does not involve a need? He appoints someone to stone the pillars on his behalf, and he performs the circumambulation while needing the crutch, and the sick person who needs the crutch, except if he needs Zayd, but he is able to ride, so he appoints someone to stone the pillars on his behalf.
