Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person is unable to come to this blessed land because of circumstances in his country, such as war or the like, is it valid for him to appoint someone to perform Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf?
Answer:
He should wait, perhaps Allah will remove this hardship and he will perform Hajj himself. If he becomes hopeless of performing Hajj himself, then he appoints someone.
