Hajj on behalf of a poor deceased who did not perform Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person died without having performed Hajj because he could not afford it, as he was poor. Is it permissible for his relatives to perform Hajj on his behalf after his death?

Answer:
If it is obligatory for them, and they volunteer to perform Hajj on his behalf, that is a good thing. Yes.
