Presenting the Islamic pilgrimage before performing Hajj on behalf of another

A woman has not performed Hajj, and she wants to send money to someone to perform Hajj on behalf of her brother who passed away. He was seventeen years old, and from the age of ten to seventeen he was paralyzed. Is it permissible for her to do so, or is it not permissible?The Shaykh: Is it obligatory for her to perform Hajj herself, or not?The questioner: It is obligatory for her to perform Hajj.

The Shaykh: So she should start with herself. However, if it is not obligatory for her because she does not have a mahram to perform Hajj with, there is no harm in having her brother’s Hajj performed on his behalf.
