The ruling on appointing someone to perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person

Question:
Among his questions, he says: Is it permissible for me to appoint someone to perform the obligatory Hajj on behalf of my deceased father? And what is the condition for this agency?

Answer:
There is no harm in giving him from your wealth to perform Hajj on behalf of your deceased father; there is no harm in that, provided he is qualified for it. If he is a Muslim qualified for it, you should choose a good man from whom you hope that Allah will accept the deed. There is nothing wrong with that. You should hope for a good man known for his goodness and appoint him to perform Hajj on behalf of your deceased father, or your deceased mother, or you may perform Hajj on behalf of them yourselves. Yes.
Likewise, the old, weak man is like the deceased, and the old, weak woman who is unable to perform Hajj is like the deceased. This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when Abu Razin al-'Uqayli asked him, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! My father is an old man who cannot stay on the mount. Should I perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf?" He said: And a woman said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! My father is an old man who cannot stay on the mount. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
