The ruling on performing Hajj for oneself or for one's mother

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding performing Hajj for oneself.

Answer:
Whether to perform Hajj for himself, or to perform Hajj for his mother? Voluntary Hajj is not performed for a living person; it is only performed for a deceased person. One only performs the obligatory Hajj on behalf of a living person if he is unable to do so due to a permanent incapacity, in which case the obligatory Hajj is performed on his behalf. As for the voluntary Hajj, it is not performed on behalf of a living person because he has already fulfilled the obligatory one. The voluntary act is either performed by him personally, or otherwise, no voluntary Hajj is performed on his behalf, because there is no evidence for this. The evidence only exists for acting as a proxy in the obligatory Hajj. There is no doubt that acts of worship require evidence; every aspect of them requires evidence. Acting as a proxy is an act of worship, so it must have evidence. If a living person is able to perform Hajj, no one acts as his proxy. If he is unable to perform Hajj due to a permanent incapacity, the Hajj of Islam is performed on his behalf. If he is unable due to an incapacity that is expected to end, he waits and does not appoint a proxy; when he is able, he performs the Hajj of Islam. Likewise, Hajj is performed for a deceased person, whether obligatory or voluntary, because the deceased’s deeds have ceased and ended, and he is in need of the reward of Hajj or 'Umrah being sent to him, as well as charity, supplication, and seeking forgiveness for him. Yes.
