Hajj on behalf of a sick mother with pulmonary fibrosis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence, the father, he says: My mother is suffering from a disease of complete fibrosis in her lungs, and she has not performed the obligatory Hajj, and she is unable to perform it because of the illness. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on her behalf?

Answer:
As long as she is unable, then Hajj should be performed on her behalf. As for if she is able after a while, then it is prescribed for her to perform Hajj if it becomes easy for her, and you should not perform it on her behalf. Yes.
A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: O Messenger

Allah, my father is an old man who cannot mount his riding animal, so I will perform Hajj on his behalf. He said: Perform Hajj on behalf of your father and make it a voluntary one. She said: Ibrahim, O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man who cannot mount his riding animal, so I will perform Hajj on his behalf. He said: Perform Hajj on behalf of your father, so she performed Hajj on his behalf.

الله إن أبي شيخ كبير لا يدخل على راحله فأحج عنه، قال حج عن أبي فارتبه، قالت ابراهيم يا رسول الله إن أبي شيخ كبير لا يدخل على راحله فأحج عنه، قال حج عن أبي فأحج عنه،

If the illness is not expected to end, or if he has a severe illness that the doctors do not expect to be cured, or if he is an old man or woman who is very old with no limit to his age, and if he has not performed the obligatory Hajj, then if he has already performed the obligatory Hajj, praise be to Allah, whoever performs Hajj on his behalf, it will be a voluntary Hajj. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
