What is the ruling on agency in tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, regarding this as well, you have been generous, O Shaykh. Is agency in tawaf valid? No, it is not valid.
The Shaykh : One does not appoint an agent for either of them, tawaf. This is why, when Umm Salamah said that she wanted to perform tawaf and she was ill, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to ride and perform tawaf from behind the people while she was riding.
The questioner : Yes, meaning if it causes hardship for one of them, it is not valid.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to carry. To carry. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you, if Allah wills.
