Is it required to perform Hajj for oneself before performing Hajj on behalf of another?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my father (may Allah have mercy on him) and the deceased Muslims passed away without being able to perform Hajj. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on his behalf? When does this apply? And am I required to perform Hajj for myself first, and then for him? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for you to perform Hajj for yourself first, and then perform Hajj for your father. This is an act of dutifulness toward him; this is an act of dutifulness toward him. If the conditions for Hajj were available to him, and then he died without performing it, then the Hajj remains a debt in his estate. It is performed on his behalf from his estate. If he left no estate, or if you volunteer from your own funds to perform it for him, this is an act of dutifulness, and it will benefit him, if Allah wills. Yes.
