Pilgrimage (2):

Q: Is it allowed to perform Pilgrimage (Hajj) for more than one person at the disport in the same year?

A: Is is allowed to perform recommended (Mustahab) Pilgrimage (Hajj) in behalf of more than one person in the same year but if the pilgrimage was compulsory then it is allowed to do on behalf of one person only.

Q: Insha-Allah my parents wish to perform their first Hajj this year. My father has a permanent skin problem on his scalp which does not allow him to get his head shaven. Requesting your advise on how can the ritual of getting the head shaved be avoided.

A: If this was his first pilgrimage then it is enough to remove the hair from the head by a trimming machine without the necessity to touch the skin as long as the hair is removed.
