Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَ مُوسِراً حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَلْحَجِّ مَرَضٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ يَعْذِرُهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُحِجَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ صَرُورَةً لاَ مَالَ لَهُ ».
Al-Halabi narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "If a person is financially capable but is prevented from performing Hajj due to illness or another matter for which Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, excuses him, then it is incumbent upon him to have Hajj performed on his behalf from his wealth by someone who has not performed Hajj before and does not have wealth of their own."
