Is it permissible to perform the voluntary circumambulation (tawaf) on behalf of one's parents?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is whether it is permissible to perform the voluntary circumambulation for his father and mother.

Answer:
If they are deceased, you perform the voluntary circumambulation for them. But if they are alive, no; if they are alive, you do not perform it for them. However, you make supplication for them. You perform the circumambulation for yourself and make supplication for them during the circumambulation, along with your supplication for yourself.
