Question:
The questioner asks: Is it better for me to perform a voluntary Hajj on behalf of my father, whom Allah has taken to Himself, or to perform Hajj for myself and make du'a for my father? Please note that I have already performed the obligatory Hajj of Islam, and he had also performed it.
Answer:
It is better to do it for your father. This is part of being dutiful to your father. You perform Hajj on his behalf, give charity on his behalf, and make du'a for him. Yes.
