The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of a deceased relative

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: He also says in his letter: Is it permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of my father after his death? Because I dedicated a Hajj to my father (may Allah have mercy on him) after his passing. Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The answer: Yes, there is no harm in performing Hajj on behalf of your father, your grandmother, or your mother; there is nothing wrong with it. Nor is there anything wrong with doing so on behalf of your brother after his death. This is an act of kindness and maintaining family ties. Likewise, if a person is unable to perform Hajj due to old age and cannot do it himself, or if a mother is unable to perform it and you perform it on her behalf, all of this is good. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you and reward you with good.
