The Ruling on Performing Hajj on Behalf of a Living Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, who indicated his name with the letters A, A, and J, says: I am a person of means, O Shaykh Salih, and I have performed the obligatory Hajj, but I have pain in my feet. I hire a person every year to perform Hajj on my behalf and give him the fee.
Answer:
If you have performed the obligatory Hajj, then praise be to Allah, and that is sufficient. As for performing on behalf of a living person, that is only for the obligatory Hajj. As for the voluntary Hajj, there is no evidence for it. However, it is the deceased for whom one performs both voluntary and obligatory Hajj and 'Umrah. As for the living person, if he is able to perform the obligatory Hajj himself, he does so. If he is not able, he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. Yes.
