Jurisprudential Study of Naib (who performs hajj on behalf) Conditions

Sarourah is someone who did not perform hajj for himself not for others. Concerning Naib who plans to make hajj for his client the question is whether Naib should be Sarourah or not. Wherever Naib is male the majority of Shia jurist don’t consider being Sarourah as a necessary condition, whether his client is male or female but when Naib is female four ideas are quoted from Shia jurist:

Through more research and study in available traditions and hadiths the accuracy of the forth idea will be obtained but not the same difference rather the difference between relatives of female Sarourah and unrelated people i.e. the female Sarourah Naib can perform hajj on behalf of this close kin including male and female but can not perform hajj on behalf for unrelated except upon two conditions; first not being Sarourah and second being aware of Hajj jurisprudential laws.
