Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Umm 'Abdullah saying: A man is over seventy-six years old, advanced in age, and physically unable to attend the sacred sites for Hajj, and his coming is also difficult for him. Is it permissible for his experienced sister to perform Hajj on his behalf?
Answer:
If he has not performed the Hajj of Islam, and he is unable to perform Hajj physically, meaning he has an obstacle preventing him from traveling, and this obstacle is continuous, whether due to old age or a chronic illness, and he has not performed the obligatory Hajj, then he appoints a man or a woman to perform Hajj on his behalf, on the condition that the proxy has first performed Hajj for himself. Yes.
