Is it permissible for a boy to perform Hajj on behalf of an adult?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a boy to perform Hajj on behalf of an adult, meaning a man takes his son and then makes his son's Hajj on behalf of his father?

Answer:
No, no. The boy performs Hajj for himself; he does not perform it for anyone else until he has fulfilled the obligatory Hajj.
Q: What if he had performed Hajj before that?
The Shaykh: Until he has fulfilled the obligatory Hajj. Once he has fulfilled the obligatory Hajj, the boy has no obligation until he reaches puberty.
