Is Hajj obligatory upon one who finds money but cannot find a deputy (substitute) to perform Hajj on their behalf?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
Hajj is not obligatory upon a person if they find wealth but cannot find someone to perform Hajj on their behalf. This ruling is undisputed because if a healthy person does not find the means to perform Hajj, it is not obligatory upon them, and the ill person is even more deserving of this exemption.
