The ruling on performing voluntary Hajj on behalf of a living mother

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This question says: If a person wants to perform Hajj on behalf of his mother, knowing that he has already performed Hajj for himself, and his mother also performed Hajj recently after embracing Islam, but she wants her son to perform Hajj for her as a voluntary act, and she is still alive, what is the ruling on that?

Answer:
This is not prescribed. A living person does not have a voluntary Hajj performed on his behalf. There is no evidence for this; there is no proof for it. One only performs the obligatory Hajj on behalf of someone if they are unable to perform it themselves. If they are unable due to a permanent condition, such as old age, and they are still alive. As for... people... and we... a person... to the last thing. But... or... the obligatory Hajj is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
