Question:
He has a son who is thirty years old, O Shaykh. He has a disability and is in debt, and he walks with crutches. Does the obligation of Hajj drop for him?
Answer:
No, it does not drop for him. He performs Hajj while being carried; he is carried during Hajj, and praise be to Allah. He performs the Hajj rites while being carried during the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) and the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah). As for the other rites, such as standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, and staying overnight at Mina, he does these himself, and it does not burden him. Yes.
