Hajj for a woman with a chronic illness and what is obligatory for her children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, the sister Umm Muram says to me: A sister in her sixties has not performed Hajj due to her health conditions, and she is now in a sickbed. Is the obligation of Hajj dropped for her? And what is obligatory for her children? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If she has money with which she can perform Hajj, but she is unable to do so with her body permanently—meaning a chronic illness—and she cannot perform Hajj, neither now nor in the future, then she must appoint someone to perform Hajj on her behalf and pay him the costs of Hajj. Yes.
