If one vows to perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person, is it permissible for him to appoint another?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu Fars from Abha is with us on the line. Your question is brief, please go ahead. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you peace. Long may you live. I want to ask the Shaykh: I vowed that I would perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person. It has now been five years and I have not been able to perform Hajj. Is it possible for me to appoint someone to perform Hajj on his behalf? That is, I pay a sum of money to a person to perform Hajj on his behalf.

Answer:
Did you vow this? Yes, I vowed to perform Hajj. He came upon me and passed away, and I vowed to perform Hajj on his behalf as the Hajj of Islam, because he had not performed it. So now, after five years, is it possible for me to pay a person a sum of money to perform Hajj on his behalf? All right, listen to the answer, please. I say: It is obligatory for you to perform Hajj on his behalf to fulfill the vow. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you are not able to do so at the present time, then you wait until you are able and perform Hajj on his behalf with your own person. Because you vowed to perform Hajj on his behalf with your own person. So it is obligatory for you to fulfill it. And if you are not able at the present time, you wait until there is ease in time and you perform it. May Allah reward you.
