The reward for one who performs Hajj on behalf of another, and the hadith of the one who performed Hajj without committing obscenity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed Hajj on behalf of my father. Does the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) apply to me, which says: "Whoever performs Hajj without committing obscenity or sin returns
as free of his sins as the day his mother bore himمن ذنوبه كيوم ولدته أمه
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 866Da'if (Darussalam)
"?

Answer:
It is hoped for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if Allah wills, that the one who performs Hajj on behalf of another will receive that reward, especially the one who does so as a charity, if he did not commit obscenity or sin. It is hoped for him that he will receive that. Likewise, for the one who performs Hajj on behalf of another with the intention of doing good, fulfilling a right on behalf of his brother, sharing in the good with the pilgrims, and desiring good, it is hoped for him that Allah will record for him a great reward, in addition to the fact that he performed Hajj on behalf of another.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
