Hajj on behalf of a mother who is unable to perform it due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another letter sent by a questioner to the program. He says: Honorable Shaykh, my mother was unable to perform Hajj due to her health condition, not because of financial constraints. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on her behalf?
Answer:
If she is capable of performing Hajj herself but is currently unable to do so, she should wait and not appoint a proxy. Appointing a proxy for Hajj is only done when one has given up hope of performing it oneself, provided one has the financial means. In that case, one appoints a proxy.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
