Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: I am with my mother, who is elderly, and I would like to stay overnight in Mina tonight until one in the morning, then appoint someone to act on my behalf.
The Shaykh:
Mm.
The questioner:
I am with my mother, who is elderly, and I would like to stay overnight in Mina tonight until one in the morning, then appoint a colleague of mine to stone the pillars on my behalf and on behalf of my mother tomorrow. Is this permissible, even though I am able to do it myself, so that I can perform the tawaf of ifadah and the farewell tawaf for her away from the crowds that my mother cannot handle?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. You must all see each other after the marriage, then ask for the farewell, and then meet at a convenient time. Do not rush into a great matter; be patient. Allah the Exalted says: “And complete the Hajj and the 'Umrah for Allah.” So you must be patient and not rush.[Al-Anfal 8:46]
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
