“O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he cannot perform Hajj or ‘Umrah, and he is not able to ride the mount (due to old age).” He said: “Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of your father.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2906)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ وَالظَّعْنَ قَالَ «حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ»
