The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, a daughter who was ill and missed part of this year's Ramadan, and she fasted because of the illness, then she recovered. Does she have to give charity or not?
The Shaykh : She owes no charity, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] And Allah did not mention charity. But I say she owes nothing.
The questioner : She owes nothing.
The Shaykh : She owes nothing except the fast.
The questioner : And then, she is ill. Can she perform Hajj? I mean, regarding her heart health, would a Hajj be sufficient for her or not?
The Shaykh : The obligatory Hajj.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is valid.
The questioner : It is valid.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : I have a Hajj with me...
The Shaykh : By Allah, I have not informed anyone yet, but...
The questioner : Ah?
The Shaykh : I say, let us try it later, if Allah wills, and if I find someone, I will give it to him.
The questioner : Okay, so if she becomes unable to do it, he performs Hajj on her behalf.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you peace and the mercy of Allah
