Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Sulayman, says: My brother is blind and has a limp in one of his legs. He has not performed Hajj yet, and he is in his forties. May he appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf?
Answer:
If he has money with which to perform Hajj, but he is unable to perform Hajj personally due to a permanent disability that prevents him from carrying out the rites of Hajj—even if he were to be carried, for a sick person or an elderly person is carried for the tawaf, sa'y, and going to the stations of Hajj—if he is unable to be carried because of the severity of his illness or old age, and he has not yet performed the Hajj of Islam, then he must appoint someone to perform the Hajj of Islam on his behalf. Yes.
