The Ruling on Performing Hajj on Behalf of an Adult with a Disability
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have a son with a disability who has reached the age of fifteen, and he wants to perform Hajj. His Hajj may be a burden on us because he has complete paralysis. Should we perform Hajj on his behalf, or should he perform it himself?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. If you perform Hajj with him, that is better. And if you appoint you or someone else to perform Hajj on his behalf, there is no harm in that; because he is physically unable to perform Hajj, and he is also unable to afford it financially. Yes.
