Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am from the people of Riyadh, and I have appointed a person to perform Hajj on behalf of my father. This person is from Jeddah. Is it required that this proxy go to the miqat, or is there no harm in him entering ihram from his own city where he resides?
The Shaykh:
It is better and more complete for him to go to the miqat, because the person on whose behalf he is performing Hajj is from the far regions, outside Makkah, so he enters ihram from the miqat. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Especially since he may have received funds for the Hajj, funds for the proxy, to complete the rituals, which include entering ihram from the miqat, the miqat of the home of the person on whose behalf he is performing Hajj. Yes.
