Question:
This sister Fatimah from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, upon whom be the best of prayers and the most perfect of blessings, asks and says: My sister passed away at the age of fifteen. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on her behalf? And is it obligatory for me to do so?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for you to do so. As for performing Hajj on her behalf, since she had reached the age of maturity, you perform the Hajj of Islam on her behalf. This is a good thing, and this is maintaining family ties. Yes.
