Abstract
The client (Manoub 'anh), such as the vice (Na'ib), mush have special requirements and conditions in Hajj and Umrah. Some of the discussed requirements among Shi'a jurists include: conditioning death of manoub 'anh, being excused (manoub 'anh), maturity of manoub 'anh and lack of madness. Concerning the conditioning death of manoub 'anh in the Hajj, the great jurists are unanimous. Making hajj on behalf of an alive or healthy person that is able to do hajj (Mobasheri hajj) is not permissible unless he fails or is excused from performing Hajj by himself. But in the recommended Hajj and Umrah such conditions are not necessary. About stipulating maturity of manoub 'anh such condition is not required but on behalf of infants, the discerning infants and non-discerning infants should be differed. Making hajj on behalf is correct for the fromer one and not for the latter.  Concerning the rationality of Manoub 'anh should be distinguished between permanent and periodic insanity. In the sense that hajj on behalf is not correct for the permanent madness. But on periodic insanity if during the wellness time the hajj became obligatory upon him taking a na'ib is correct and even obligatory.
