Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to perform the voluntary tawaf on behalf of another person?
Answer:
There is no evidence regarding performing tawaf on behalf of another person. The evidence only mentions performing the full Hajj on behalf of another, or the full 'Umrah on behalf of another. As for tawaf alone, there is no evidence for it. However, some jurists say there is no harm in it because it is an act of obedience, so it is analogized to the fact that if representation is permissible in the entirety of Hajj and the entirety of 'Umrah, then representation is permissible in part of it, such as tawaf. But the correct view is that one does not perform voluntary tawaf on behalf of another; rather, one performs Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf. Yes.
