Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace
The questioner : May Allah keep you in good health.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you in good health.
The questioner : The Shaykh : Nasser
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : With your permission, may I ask a question, O my master?
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : O my master, regarding performing Hajj on behalf of another, which is the substitute Hajj.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Of course, the first condition is that one must have performed Hajj for oneself.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : With your permission, there is a matter concerning one of the brothers, and I wanted to return to your eminence to confirm.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : That it is possible for a female relative to perform a substitute Hajj for a man.
The Shaykh : The man for whom she wants to perform Hajj.
The questioner : She is not a close relative.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Not a close relative, I mean.
The Shaykh : If the one performing Hajj on behalf of a man is a man, he is not permitted to perform Hajj except for his father and his mother only.
The questioner : Except for his father and his mother.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Even if the man...
The Shaykh: The substitute Hajj is not prescribed except for a son to perform for his father or his mother, or for the one who bequeathed that Hajj be performed on his behalf. Other than that, it is not valid.
The questioner : But if a person bequeathed...
The Shaykh : My brother...
The questioner : That a person perform Hajj on his behalf without specifying the person, it is not possible for a non-relative.
The Shaykh : It is possible, my brother, it is possible, but the woman—you are asking about the woman.
The questioner : Excuse me, with your permission, the question is, if we suppose there is a person...
The Shaykh : My brother, please do not search into hypotheticals.
The questioner : My question is...
The Shaykh : Do not search into hypotheticals. Your question was clear: Is it permissible for a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of a stranger?
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : I have given you the answer: It is not permissible. Even if the one performing the substitute Hajj were a man, as long as he is not a son of the one for whom Hajj is being performed, it is not permissible. This is your answer.
The questioner : This is the answer.
The Shaykh : As for repeating the question in another way, save that for another round tomorrow or the day after, as it becomes convenient for you.
The questioner : I mean, even the same person...
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you
The questioner : And upon you be peace
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace
The questioner : May Allah keep you in good health.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you in good health.
