If a Muslim has performed the obligatory Hajj for himself, and he is unable to perform Hajj due to old age or a chronic illness from which there is no hope of recovery, then there is no impediment to him appointing someone to perform Hajj on his behalf once or more. Appointing someone to perform a supererogatory Hajj is also permissible.
