One who is entrusted with Hajj must perform the best option
Your Eminence! What is the nature of the actions performed by the proxy who acts on behalf of one who is unable to perform the rites due to illness or death? And is he permitted to choose between Hajj Tamattu' or Ifrad?
The proxy says: Labbaik on behalf of so-and-so.
The proxy must perform Tamattu'; because Tamattu' is the best of the types of Hajj, and whoever is entrusted with something, it is obligatory for him to follow the best option, unless his principal chooses otherwise; because the agent is a trustee and it is obligatory for him to do what is most beneficial.
