Agency in Performing Hajj on Behalf of Another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for him to appoint a proxy, to appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf?
The Shaykh:
If the Shaykh is an old man who is unable, he may appoint a proxy, or on behalf of a deceased person, there is no harm. As for the strong person, he does not appoint a proxy. Rather, you appoint a proxy for the old pilgrim who is prevented, or the sick person whose illness does not require him to be carried, or the deceased, for whom Hajj is obligatory.
