Whoever
is able to perform Hajj and then something detains
him from performing it, whether illness or old age,
should charge someone to perform Hajj on his behalf.
Al-Fadl bin `Abbas reported that a woman from Khath`am
said to the Prophet (peace be upon him), "O
Messenger of Allah! The rite of Hajj which Allah
ordained upon His servants has become obligatory
upon my father, but he is too old to ride a camel.
May I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He answered,
"Yes." This view was held by Al-Shafi`i,
Ahmad and Abu Hanifah, whereas Malik maintained
that such a man is not obliged to charge anyone
to perform Hajj on his behalf. |
|
If
a person is ill and charges someone else to perform
Hajj on his behalf, he is not relieved of his obligation,
rather he is required to perform it after recovery.
However, Ahmad held that he is not required to perform
it himself, even after recovery. |
|
As
for the one who has performed Hajj in fulfillment
of a vow and has not yet performed Hajj as an Islamic
obligation, his Hajj is considered as a fulfillment
of the command and should fulfill his vow by another
Hajj. |
|
If
a person died without performing Hajj as an Islamic
obligation or as a vow, it is then obligatory upon
his successor to charge someone to perform Hajj
on his behalf and to finance his journey from the
deceased person's money. This is the view held by
the Shafi`is and the Hanbalis, whereas the Hanafis
and the Malikis maintained that it is not obligatory
upon the successor to perform Hajj on behalf of
the deceased person unless he willed it, and the
costs of the journey should be taken from one-third
of the estate. |
|
Before
performing Hajj on behalf of someone else, a person
must have performed Hajj for himself whether having
the ability or not. This is based on Ibn `Abbas's
hadith: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) heard
a man saying, "O Allah! Here I am in response
to Your call on behalf of Shabrumah." The Prophet
(peace be upon him) asked him, "Have you performed
your own Hajj? " He replied, "No",
whereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him ) said
to him, "You must perform Hajj for yourself
first, then for Shabrumah." |
