Is it permissible for a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of a man?

Question: Sister A. M. M. from Cairo says in her question: Is it permissible for a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of a man, and is there a difference between the Hajj being voluntary or obligatory? We ask for a ruling, and may Allah reward you with good.

Answer: It is permissible for a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of a man if the person for whom it is being performed is dead or unable to perform Hajj due to old age or an illness that is not expected to end. . It is also established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that a woman from Khath'am said: “O Messenger of Allah, my father is unable to perform Hajj, so should I perform Hajj on his behalf?” He said to her: . There are many hadiths in this meaning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not distinguish between obligatory Hajj and voluntary Hajj; this indicates the permissibility of acting as a proxy in both cases, by a man or a woman, with the condition mentioned, which is that the person for whom it is being performed is dead or unable due to old age or an illness that is not expected to end. And success is from Allah.
