Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If a person performs Hajj on behalf of a deceased person, is that Hajj accepted or not?
Answer:
It is accepted, if Allah wills, if its conditions are met and it is performed in the prescribed manner. It benefits that deceased person, as the evidence indicates that Hajj is performed on behalf of the dead. Hajj is performed on behalf of the dead as an obligatory duty (fard) if they died without having performed the obligatory Hajj, or as a voluntary act (nafilah) if they had performed the obligatory Hajj before their death. That benefits them and reaches them. Yes.
