Question:
A person went to perform hajj-e-badal, but has not performed his own
hajj as yet. Some ‛ulama’ say that now that he has reached Makkah, his
own hajj becomes fard on him. It is necessary for him to wait there
until the next year. Is this correct?
Answer:
Most ‛ulama’ say that this person got the ability to perform hajj on the
strength of someone else, and the rule is:
The one who got the strength from another is not classified as an able person.
This is why hajj did not become obligatory on him. Furthermore, it is
legally and normally very difficult to remain in Makkah for another
year.
Allah ta‛ala knows best.
