Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What do you advise, may Allah bless you, the one who acts as a proxy in Hajj?
The Shaykh : I advise the one who performs Hajj on behalf of another to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and to feel that he is responsible for this act of worship as a trust, and that it is obligatory for him to perform it in the most complete manner possible, because the one who performs Hajj for himself is not like the one who performs it for another. The one who performs Hajj for another must pay attention to the obligatory acts, the recommended practices, and all the prescribed matters, whereas the one who performs Hajj for himself may limit himself to the obligatory acts. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, and if he has some violations?
The Shaykh : What violations? Yes.
