A man asked the Messenger of Allah [SAW]: "The (command to perform) Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot sit firmly in the saddle, and if I tie him, I fear that he may die. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Do you think that if he owed a debt you would pay it off for him?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَهُ الْحَجُّ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لاَ يَثْبُتُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَإِنْ شَدَدْتُهُ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ مُجْزِئًا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ  

A man came to the Prophet [SAW] and said: "My father is an old man, can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Yes. Don't you think that if he owed a debt and you paid it off, that would suffice him?"  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ  

a man asked the Prophet "The command of ) Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot sit firmly in his saddle; if I tie him (to the saddle) I fear that he will die. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "don't you think that if your father owed a debt and you paid it off, that would be good enough?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father. "  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَهُ الْحَجُّ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لاَ يَثْبُتُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَإِنْ شَدَدْتُهُ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ مُجْزِئًا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ  

"A man from Khath'am came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'My father is an old man who cannot ride, and the command of Allah to perform Hajj has come. Will it be good enough if I perform Hajj on his behalf?' He said: 'Are you the oldest of his children?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Don't you think that if he owed a debt you would pay it off?, He' said: 'Yes.' He said: 'then perform Hajj on his behalf.'''(Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2638)

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my father is an old man who is unable to perform Hajj." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have you ever thought about paying off any of your father's debts? If you did, wouldn't it be accepted from you?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Verily, Allah is more merciful in fulfilling the duty of Hajj on behalf of your father."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَكَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ عَنْهُ قُبِلَ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ ﷺ فَاللهُ أَرْحَمُ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ

[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "O Messenger of Allah, my father embraced Islam when he was old and weak. If I were to take him on a journey, I fear that I would end up causing his death. And if I don't take him, he won't be able to perform the obligations of Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Have you ever thought if your father had a debt, would you pay it off for him?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf."  

أَنْ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي دَخَلٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ فَإِنْ أَنَا شَدَدْتُهُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِي خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ أَشُدَّهُ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ عَلَيْهَا أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوَ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ عَنْهُ أَكَانَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاحْجُجْ عَنْ أَبِيكَ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man who is unable to perform Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have you ever considered if your father had a debt and you paid it off, would it fulfill his obligation?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «حُجَّ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My father has passed away without performing the Hajj (pilgrimage). Should I perform it on his behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Did your father have any outstanding debts that you have now paid off?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then perform the Hajj on behalf of your father."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَقُضِيَ عَنْهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَحُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "My father is old and cannot perform Hajj. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, have you not considered if your father had a debt and you paid it off on his behalf, would that not be considered as fulfilling his obligation? This is similar to that."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَ عَنْهُ أَفَلَا يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ؟ فَإِنَّمَا هَذَا مِثْلُ هَذَا»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father is old and unable to perform Hajj. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet replied, "Do you think if your father had a debt, you would pay it off?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet then said, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَمْ يَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ كُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ»  

a man asked the Prophet "The command of ) Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot sit firmly in his saddle; if I tie him (to the saddle) I fear that he will die. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "don't you think that if your father owed a debt and you paid it off, that would be good enough?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father. " (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2640)  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَهُ الْحَجُّ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَثْبُتُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَإِنْ شَدَدْتُهُ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ مُجْزِئًا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَحُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ»

[Machine] A man from Khaitham came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father has embraced Islam, but he is an elderly man who cannot ride a camel. The obligation of Hajj (pilgrimage) is prescribed on him, so should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you his eldest son?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "What if your father had a debt, and you paid it off, would that suffice?" He answered, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then advised, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf." There was a difference of opinion regarding this matter, and it was resolved by Mansur. Jareer ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated the incident in this manner.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ رُكُوبَ الرَّحْلِ وَالْحَجُّ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَيْهِ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ وَلَدِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يجْزِئُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْجُجْ عَنْهُ اخْتُلِفَ فِي هَذَا عَلَى مَنْصُورٍ فَرَوَاهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ هَكَذَا  

"أَرَأَيتَ لو كان على أبيك دَينٌ فقضيته عَنْه، أكان يجزئ عنه؟ قال: نَعَمْ، قال: فاحجج عن أبيك".  

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الزُّبيْرِ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَم إِلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: إِنَّ أَبِى أَدْرَكَهُ الإِسْلاَمُ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كبِيرٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ رُكُوبَ الرَّحْلِ، وَالحَجُّ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَيْهِ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ وَلَدِهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ يُجْزِى عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ".  

"عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبِى شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَمْ يَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجّ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ: لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْن فَقَضَيْتَهُ عَنْهُ أَكانَ يَجْزِى عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: حُجَّ عَنْهُ".  

" عَنْ سَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زُمْعَةَ قَالَتْ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ قَضَيْتَهُ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَرْحَم، حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ".
