Question:
What is the ruling on delegating Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of the sick and the incapable?
Answer:
If the illness prevents him from traveling, or if he is unable to travel, or if the incapacity is such that he cannot remain steady on a vehicle, then someone may perform the obligatory pilgrimage on his behalf. However, if the condition does not prevent him from riding, he should go out himself, and he should be carried during the circumambulation (tawaf) with assistance. As for the remaining rites, he performs them at 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina, because he is only required to be present in these places. For the stoning of the pillars (ramy al-jamarat), he appoints someone to stone on his behalf. Yes.
