Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: How does one act as a proxy for another in acts of worship? We ask for clarification on this matter.
Answer:
Acting as a proxy is permissible in matters where proxy is allowed: in distributing charity, in paying off debts, and in performing Hajj and 'Umrah if one is unable to do so, such as an elderly man or an elderly woman who cannot perform Hajj or 'Umrah. It is permissible for them to appoint a proxy, or to authorize someone to pay off a debt, or to give charity on behalf of so-and-so or so-and-so. There is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
