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

[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."
