Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a pregnant woman to delegate the Tawaf of Ifadah? The same applies to a man, or a minor woman. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
There is no delegation in Tawaf and Sa'y. One must perform the Tawaf. The one who is unable is carried, or performs Tawaf in a carriage. There is no delegation in Tawaf, only in the stoning of the pillars, or in the slaughter. If we slaughter as is proper, such as one who slaughters on behalf of a woman. As for Tawaf, Sa'y, standing at 'Arafah, and slaughter, there is no delegation in them. Rather, one performs Tawaf with his own body. The pregnant woman performs Tawaf with her own body, or is carried in a carriage, or performs Sa'y likewise, or on the heads of men in a suitable litter. The sick person is likewise carried. Yes.
