Question:
Our sister says: My mother passed away when I was young, along with my uncles, and she was far from me. She entrusted a relative of hers to perform Hajj on her behalf, because my father had also passed away. However, I heard from some people that it is not permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of the mother before the father. How accurate is this?
Answer:
This is a mistake. There is no harm. This is a mistake. What you heard, that one does not perform Hajj on behalf of the mother before the father, is a mistake. Rather, one performs Hajj on behalf of the mother before the father, and the father before the mother, and there is no harm in that. The mother has a greater right to kindness, and her right is greater than the father's right. So if a person performs Hajj on behalf of his mother before his father, there is no blame on him. Rather, he has hit upon the Sunnah and attained the virtue, for her right is greater. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked... A man said to him: O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most deserving of people of my good companionship? He said: He said: Then who? He said: He said: Then who? He said: He said: Then who? He said: .
And in another hadith, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, when a questioner asked him: O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most deserving of my kindness? He said: He said: Then who? He said: He said: Then who? He said: He said: Then who? He said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1897Hasan (Darussalam) So the father is in the fourth place.
So if they have not both performed Hajj, it is better to start with the mother, then perform Hajj on behalf of the father, if they have died and have not performed Hajj.
As for if one of them has already performed Hajj, he performs Hajj on behalf of the one who has not. And if he performs Hajj on behalf of both of them many times, this is from kindness, and may Allah reward him with good, whether the pilgrim is their son, or their daughter, or their brother, or their sister. The matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

أبوكAnd in another hadith, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, when a questioner asked him: O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most deserving of my kindness? He said:
Your mother

أمكyour father, then the nearest relatives, then the nearest relatives
