The Ruling on Performing Hajj on Behalf of a Mother Who Is Unable to Do So Due to Illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. The Shaykh says: My mother entrusted me to perform Hajj on her behalf this year, as she is unable to walk long distances due to her suffering from viral hepatitis. She has already performed the Hajj of Islam. Is this permissible? And will it count as a Hajj for her?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, because she is incapacitated by a permanent condition. It is permissible for you to perform a voluntary Hajj or 'Umrah on her behalf, provided that you have first performed the obligatory Hajj for yourself. In that case, you perform it on her behalf in the following year. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah preserve you.
