Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of one's parents while they are alive

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of my parents while they are alive?

Answer:
No. It is only if the parents, or one of them, have not performed the obligatory pilgrimage and are unable to perform it with their own bodies due to a permanent inability caused by old age, senility, or a chronic illness, and they have not performed the obligation, then they appoint you as their agent and you perform it on their behalf. In any other case, no. One does not perform Hajj on behalf of a living person. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
