Is it permissible to appoint a proxy to perform Hajj on behalf of someone who has not performed Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, what is the ruling when a person intends, if Allah wills, to perform Hajj for someone else and appoints another person, while he himself has not performed Hajj? I mean, the one who is not the proxy, the proxy himself has not performed Hajj for himself.

The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man reciting the talbiyah.

The questioner : Yes, just thank you.

The Shaykh : I mean, look at Rome.

The questioner : Yes, I understand.

The Shaykh :
He asked who Shubruma was, and the man replied, “A brother of mine," or “a relative of mine." He asked whether he had performed the pilgrimage on his own behalf, and when he replied that he had not, he said, “Perform the pilgrimage on your own behalf, then perform it on behalf of Shubruma."قَالَ مَنْ شُبْرُمَةُ قَالَ أَخٌ لِي أَوْ قَرِيبٌ لِي قَالَ أَحَجَجْتَ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ ثُمَّ حُجَّ عَنْ شُبْرُمَةَ
Mishkat al-Masabih 2529


The questioner : And.

The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Start with yourself.

The questioner : Yes, but he appoints, he appoints one person.

The Shaykh : As long as he starts with himself, as long as he has money with which to perform Hajj, he should not give it to people to perform Hajj on behalf of others.

The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, and we ask Allah for your knowledge.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
