The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of another for one who has not performed Hajj for himself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And another person, O Shaykh, wants to perform Hajj on behalf of someone else, but he has not performed Hajj himself?

Answer:
This is not permissible. One does not perform Hajj on behalf of another unless he has already performed Hajj for himself. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man saying, “Labbaik on behalf of Shubrumah.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Who is Shubrumah?” He said, “A brother of mine who has died.” He said, “Have you performed Hajj for yourself?”
he replied that he had not, he said, “Perform the pilgrimage on your ownقال لا. قال حج عن نفسك ثم حج
