Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a son wants to perform Hajj on behalf of his parents, which is more deserving, the father or the mother? To perform Hajj for his parents, which is more deserving, the father or the mother?

Answer:
The mother is more deserving of dutifulness. One starts with the mother because she is more deserving of dutifulness. A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' He replied, 'Your father.'صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ أَبَرُّ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ أَبَاكَ
