Circumambulation as a voluntary act on behalf of one’s parents

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is whether it is permissible to perform a voluntary circumambulation (tawaf) on behalf of one’s father and mother.

Answer:
If they are deceased, you may perform a voluntary circumambulation for them. However, if they are alive, you do not perform circumambulation for them. Instead, 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.
