Appointing a proxy for Hajj after entering the state of ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I entered the state of ihram from the miqat without saying, “Labbaik, Hajj on behalf of so-and-so.” Then, when I went to Makkah and arrived there, I appointed it. Do I owe anything?
Answer:
No. The proxy must be intended at the time of entering ihram. The proxy for someone is intended at the time of entering ihram. So, if you entered ihram without intending it for anyone, it becomes for yourself, and you cannot assign it to anyone after that.
