Hadith 1

رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكَ فَائْتِ اَلْحَجَرَ اَلْأَسْوَدَ وَ قُلْ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلاَنٍ ».

It is narrated from Muawiyah ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), that he said: "If you wish to perform Tawaf on behalf of one of your brothers, go to the Black Stone and say, 'In the name of Allah (swt), O Allah (swt), accept this on behalf of [the name of the person].'"

Hadith 2

وَ سَأَلَهُ يَحْيَى اَلْأَزْرَقُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَطُوفَ عَنْ أَقَارِبِهِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا قَضَى مَنَاسِكَ اَلْحَجِّ فَلْيَصْنَعْ مَا شَاءَ ».

It is narrated that Yahya al-Azraq asked Abu Abdullah (a.s): "Is it permissible for a person to perform Tawaf on behalf of his relatives?" Imam (a.s) replied: "If he has completed the rites of Hajj, then he may do as he wishes."

Commentary 1

ولا يجوز للرجل إذا كان مقيما بمكة ليست به علة أن يطوف عنه غيره.

Additionally, it is not permissible for a man residing in Mecca without an ailment or valid excuse to have someone else perform Tawaf on his behalf.
