بسم الله الرØمان الرØيم
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Those able to perform the hajj by
sending someone in their stead
The second type of being able to perform
hajj is when one may fulfill it by sending
another in one's place, the necessary con-
ditions for which are :
(a) that one is unable to ride there ( at all,
or is able, but with great difficulty ) because
of chronic illness or old age ;
(b) and that one either has the money ( to
hire someone to go in one's place ) or ( if
lacking the money ) has someone to obey
one ( by agreeing to perform the rites of
hajj for one ( at their own expense, as a
charitable donation )), even if not a family
member - in which case one is obliged to
either hire someone ( in the former instance)
to perform hajj in one's place.
One may also have someone perform a
nonobligatory hajj for one under such
conditions.
The priority of the obligatory
Hajj over any other
It is not permissible for someone who
has not yet performed his own obliga-
tory hajj :
(1) to perform the hajj for someone else ;
(2) to perform a nonobligatory hajj ;
(3) or to perform hajj in fulfillment of a
vow, or as a makeup.
( If he does any of these, it counts instead
as his own obligatory hajj ).
The order of performing hajj ( or 'umrah )
must be :
(1) the obligatory hajj first ;
(2) then a makeup hajj if any has is due ;
(3) then a hajj in fulfillment of a vow, if
any has been made ;
(4) and then a supererogatory hajj, or
one in another person's place.
If one tries to change this order , for example,
by commencing a hajj with the intention for a
supererogatory performance or a vow when
one has not yet made the obligatory hajj, the
intention is invalid, and the hajj counts instead
as fulfilling the obligatory one. The same is true
for the other types ( i.e. if one intends any of the
types in the order just mentioned when a prior
type exists unperformed, then one's hajj counts
as fulfilling the prior one, regardless of the
intention).
