Q: Is it permissible for me to
delegate someone to perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) and Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) on my behalf, especially if it is not easy for me to return to
Makkah al-Mukarramah
because of my old age and weak physical condition?
A:
Delegation is not valid or permissible in performing Tawaf-ul-Ifadah nor Tawaf-ul-Wada`. Those who are not able to perform Tawaf, should perform it while being carried. It is a must for you to return to
Makkah as mentioned in the relevant Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar).
May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions!
