Proxy in Tawaf and Sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: A man performed Hajj with his wife in the state of Ifrad, but his wife was unable to perform the Tawaf of Hajj, so he performed it on her behalf and then returned to his country. What is the ruling?
I say: It is well known that proxy in Tawaf and Sa'y is not valid, and the utmost that has been transmitted is proxy in stoning the pillars. This woman must now return to Makkah and perform the Tawaf of Ifadah, and perform Sa'y if she has not already done so. If she performs a complete 'Umrah and then completes the remainder of her Hajj, that is better, so that she does not enter Makkah except while in the state of Ihram. If that is difficult for her, there is no blame on her if she enters Makkah, performs the Tawaf of Ifadah, and returns.
