Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Thank you, O my file, Shaykh, may Allah bless you. He says: I am blind and I have not performed Hajj. This brother is my file. Is it permissible for me to appoint someone to perform Hajj on my behalf?
Answer:
No, the loss of sight does not prevent one from performing Hajj, my brother. You perform Hajj and have someone with you to guide you, and you perform the obligatory Hajj. This is not a barrier to Hajj. Yes.
