GUIDELINES AND RULINGS ON HAJJ AL-BADAL (proxy Hajj) Part 2
But if the person on whose behalf he wants to perform Hajj is not able to perform Hajj because of some temporary reason which it is hoped will pass, such as illness from which there is the hope that he will recover, or because of the political situation, or if the route is not safe and so on, then it is not acceptable to perform Hajj on his behalf.

3.Proxy Hajj (Hajj al-badal) cannot be done on behalf of one who is financially incapable (and cannot afford to go for Hajj), because the obligation of Hajj is waived for the one who is poor. Rather proxy Hajj is done for the one who is physically incapable.
The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
Is it permissible for someone to do ‘Umrah or Hajj on behalf of his relative who lives far away from Makkah and does not have the means of travelling there, even though he is (physically) able to do tawaaf (circumambulation of the Ka‘bah)?
They replied:
Your relative is not obliged to perform Hajj so long as he is not able to afford it. It is not valid to perform either Hajj or ‘umrah on his behalf, because he would be physically able to do both if he was present himself in the holy places. It is only valid to do them by proxy on behalf of one who has died or one who is physically unable to do that himself. End quote.

4.It is not permissible for anyone to perform Hajj on behalf of another unless he has already performed Hajj for himself. If he does do that, then his Hajj counts for him and not for the other person.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
It is not permissible for a person to perform Hajj on behalf of another person before he performs Hajj for himself. The basic principle concerning that is the report narrated by Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) heard a man saying, Labbayk ‘an Shubrumah (Here I am (O Allah, for Hajj) on behalf of Shubrumah). He said: “Have you performed Hajj on your own behalf?” He said: No. He said: “Perform Hajj on your own behalf, then on behalf of Shubrumah.” End quote.

5.It is permissible for a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of a man, and for a man to perform Hajj on behalf of a woman.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
Performing Hajj on behalf of another person is permissible, if the proxy has already performed Hajj for himself. The same applies to paying a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of your mother, because it is permissible for a woman to perform Hajj on behalf of a woman or a man. There is proven evidence from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) concerning that. End quote.
Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah, 11/52
6.It is not permissible for anyone to perform Hajj on behalf of two or more people in one Hajj, but it is permissible to do ‘Umrah for himself – or on behalf of someone else – and to do Hajj on behalf of a different person.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
It is permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of one who has passed away and on behalf of one who is still alive but is unable to perform Hajj. But it is not permissible for a person to perform Hajj once and make it on behalf of two people. Hajj can only be done on behalf of one person, and the same applies to ‘Umrah. But if someone does Hajj on behalf of one person and he does ‘Umrah on behalf of another person in the same year, that is acceptable so long as the pilgrim has already performed Hajj and ‘Umrah on his own behalf. End quote.
