The non-exemption of Hajj for the lame and the blind
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The lame and Hajj. You are asking about the ruling, O Shaykh. Is it obligatory for the lame person to perform Hajj, or is it exempted from him due to his lameness?
Answer: No, lameness does not exempt one. Lameness, illness, and blindness do not prevent Hajj, except if the illness is one that is not expected to end and he is unable to perform Hajj with it. In that case, he is like the old, incapacitated man and the old, incapacitated woman who cannot perform the circumambulation.
As for an illness that is expected to end, and lameness and blindness, they do not exempt one from Hajj. He must perform Hajj even if he is lame, because what is there... allows him to perform the circumambulation. And if he is unable to perform the circumambulation, he can perform it in a carriage or while being carried. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
