Hajj on behalf of the parents and starting with the mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My parents passed away young and did not perform Hajj. I intended this year to perform Hajj on behalf of my father first. Is my action correct?
Answer:
No, you start with your mother. You perform Hajj on behalf of your mother first because she has more right to dutifulness than the father. Dutifulness to parents is obligatory, but the mother is more deserving. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recommended dutifulness to her three times, and recommended dutifulness to the father only once. When he was asked (peace and blessings be upon him), a questioner asked him, "Who is most deserving of my good company?"Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 3 So the right of the mother is greater. So you start with her. Yes.

May Allah reward you

Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your father,'
