Question:
Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on behalf of my father if he is alive but unable to perform Hajj?
Answer:
Only the obligatory Hajj, not the voluntary one. That is what has occurred. If a person is unable to perform Hajj with his body but is able to do so with his money, he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. He appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf and pays the costs of Hajj and travel, because he is able with his money but not with his body, so he appoints someone to perform Hajj on his behalf. Yes.
