****************************************************************************

After having already having made plans and preparations to perform hajj,
it has come to pass that my mother's health has deteriorated to the
extent that it would require me to remain at home, and there is noone
else to take my place at home:

QUESTION 1:
	
1. Is it still wajib for me to perform hajj?

ANSWER:

 No... Hajj becomes Wajib when family members dependant on you have been
taken care of during  your trip - financially and otherwise.

QUESTION 2:

2. Should someone be deputed to go in my place? 


ANSWER 2:

Deputation is only for the deceased. You may have the opportunity to go next
year, Inshallah..
