Authorizing a man from India to perform Hajj on behalf of a dead person from Kuwait

Q 5: Is it permissible to authorize a man from India, for example, to perform Hajj on behalf of a dead person from Kuwait? Also, is it permissible to authorize a person living inside one of the Miqats (sites for entering the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) like Jeddah, or Makkah, for example, to perform Hajj for another person who lives in a remote country?

A: It is permissible for a person to authorize another person to perform Hajj on their behalf, even if the country of the authorized person is different from that of the principal, and even if the country of the authorized person is closer to Makkah than the that of the principal. There is no proof indicating the conditionality that the authorized person and the principal have to belong to the same country.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
