Question:
Regarding an elderly person who was financially and physically able, but had not performed Hajj, and then passed away. What is required of him? And should Hajj be performed on his behalf?

Answer: If he had money and had not performed Hajj before, then someone performs Hajj on his behalf, and the costs of Hajj are paid from his estate, because this is a debt upon him; it is among the obligatory debts to be settled from the estate.
