Q: I am an eighty year old man. I performed Hajj last year and offered Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah),
but I could not offer Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj) on foot, but rather performed Sa`y in a wheel chair.
(Part No. 11; Page No. 262)
I also delegated someone to throw Jamarat (stone pillars at which pebbles are thrown during Hajj) on my behalf, as I did not have the ability to go into the crowds and do this. I heard a knowledge seeker that came to us in
Mina
saying: "those who do not throw the pebbles themselves, why do they bother themselves performing Hajj?" Is my Hajj complete or should I expiate for this deed? Knowing that I had previously performed obligatory Hajj. I hope your Eminence will provide me with the right opinion in this regard.
A:
If you are unable to offer Sa`y on foot, and you find it difficult, it is permissible for you to ride a wheel chair and it is also permissible for you to delegate someone to throw the pebbles on your behalf.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
