The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of deceased parents and a capable parent

Question:
We are four sisters and we have a brother, and all of us are married. We have a father who has passed away and a mother who is still alive. We inherited a sum of money from our parents. Our brother has proposed setting aside a portion of it for the purpose of performing Hajj on behalf of our deceased father and our living mother. Is it permissible for us, the daughters, to pay from our share for the purpose of Hajj, given that we are married and have sons and daughters?

Answer:
If the deceased did not perform Hajj for himself and he left behind money, then Hajj is performed from his money, because this is a debt upon him that becomes obligatory from his estate. As for if he had no money and did not perform the Hajj of Islam, and you wish to donate to perform Hajj on his behalf, then this is a righteous deed and dutifulness to your parent, so there is no harm in setting aside some of your money to perform Hajj on his behalf. As for the mother, if she is strong and able to perform Hajj herself with a mahram (a relative one may not marry), then no one performs Hajj on her behalf; rather, she performs it herself, either as an obligatory act or a voluntary one. She performs it as long as she is able to do so. However, if she is unable to do so due to old age, or a chronic illness that is not expected to end, and she has not performed the Hajj of Islam, then she must appoint someone to perform Hajj on her behalf if she is financially capable and has money. If she is capable through her money, she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. If she has no money, and you wish to donate on her behalf and perform Hajj for her, then this is a good deed and a righteous deed. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
