You performed 'Umrah and exited the state of ihram, then the illness returned to you and you were unable to perform Hajj

Fatwa number ( 14191 )
Q: I was afflicted with an illness in my stomach in the last days of Dhu al-Qa'dah in the year 1410 AH, which then spread to my brain, followed by a chill in my heart and sweating in my legs. My fear was driven by two concerns: first, that this illness would cause my death before I could fulfill the obligation of Hajj. Second, I feared that if I resolved to travel and set out while ill, I would die as a sinner because of traveling while sick. Then I placed my trust in Allah and traveled, arriving at the miqat on the sixth of Dhu al-Hijjah, 1410 AH. I entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah as a preparation for Hajj, without making any conditions. I then completed the 'Umrah and exited the state of ihram. After that, the illness returned to me, causing me a sense of sadness and a dislike of being looked at by others, not intentionally. Then I returned to my home before I had engaged in the acts of
Hajj, neither entering the state of ihram nor doing anything else. I hope you will inform me of the ruling on what happened, and what I should do if the illness continues with me in the future. May Allah reward you.
A: First: Regarding your entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah as a tamattu' pilgrim for Hajj, completing the acts of 'Umrah, and not entering the state of ihram for Hajj because you were unable to proceed with it, you owe nothing for that. Second: If the illness continues with you and you are unable to perform Hajj yourself, and there is no hope of recovery from that illness, it is permissible for you to appoint a proxy to perform Hajj on your behalf, the Hajj of Islam. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
