The Reward of Performing Hajj on Behalf of Another

Question:
I have two questions, Shaykh. First, regarding performing an act of worship on behalf of someone else: does the person who performs it receive the reward of that act? For example, if someone performs Hajj on behalf of another, does he receive the reward of Hajj? How many days after his birth did his mother give birth to him? And the other question: my father (may Allah have mercy on him), before his passing, stated that he had granted a piece of land in my name. After he passed away (may Allah have mercy on him), and it remained in my name, is it for me alone, or for all the heirs? Okay, thank you. As for the one who performs Hajj on behalf of another, Honorable Shaykh, let him receive the reward.

Answer:
He receives whatever reward Allah has decreed for him, because he benefited his deceased brother and did him a favor, so he is rewarded for that. Also, he prayed in the Sacred Precinct and made supplication at the stations on the Day of 'Arafah; this supplication is for him. As for the person on whose behalf it was performed, he receives only the rites of Hajj. As for any righteous deeds that exceed the rites, they belong to the one who performed them. Yes.
