36 mins confidence: 
stand in for him/her (to perform the hajj by proxy) Explanation: stand in for sb: to temporarily do someone else's job or take their place The hajj is incumbent on every Muslim who is physically and financially able to make the pilgrimage, but only if his absence will not place hardships on his family. A person may perform the hajj by proxy, appointing a relative or friend going on the pilgrimage to “stand in” for him or her. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2015-11-09 03:25:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- also: fill in for sb, substitute sb Reference: http://www.britannica.com/topic/hajj |
