2636. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that a woman from Khath'am asked the Prophet ﷺ on the morning of the Day of Sacrifice: "O Messenger of Allâh! The command of Allâh to His slaves to perform Hajj has come, while my father is an old man and cannot sit firmly in the saddle. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Yes." (Sahîh)
2635 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ خَثْعَمَ سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ جَمْعٍ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ، أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا، لَا يَسْتَمْسِكُ عَلَى الرَّحْلِ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»

1. "He said: yes" meaning next year or after it, because the current Hajj was being performed for herself, rather she already had performed it; since the incident of her asking the Prophet ﷺ took place at 'Arafât, and the halt at 'Arafât constitutes the real Hajj. 2. According to the majority of the people of knowledge, the substitute Hajj, which is performed on behalf of someone, could only be performed by the one who has already performed his own Hajj. 3. The substitute Hajj could be performed by a man instead of a woman, likewise a woman may perform it on behalf of a man, though there is a slight difference in the commandments of men and women. But the difference is in the matter of the Ihrâm or the state of consecration. The rites of Hajj are similar.
