The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of a weak woman who is unable to perform Hajj herself

Question:
Yes, we have a call from Salim from Buraydah. Please, go ahead. Peace be upon you. Upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. How are you, Shaykh?

Answer:
Upon you be peace. If you would please, my mother is approximately sixty years old, but her physical constitution is very weak and she cannot walk. She had a leg operation, so we do not know whether we should perform Hajj on her behalf or let her perform it herself. Let her perform it and be carried. She can ride, and most of the acts of Hajj are performed while riding or sitting. So she rides and is carried if that is possible. If that is not possible, then there is no Hajj required of her, and no one performs it on her behalf in this case. It is only if she reaches a state where she cannot ride or remain stable on the mount, and cannot travel, that she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
