Summary
Patients with a chronic illness with no hope of recovery, such as kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis, are not obliged to perform the Hajj themselves. If they are financially able, they are obliged to arrange a proxy Hajj (badal haji). If the person later recovers from the chronic illness, he or she must perform the Hajj if capable.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pesakit yang mengidap penyakit kronik yang tidak ada harapan sembuh seperti pesakit buah pinggang yang menjalani rawatan hemodialisis dan seumpamanya tidak wajib menunaikan ibadah haji.
