Sunan Abi Dawud 1810 (Book 11, Hadith 90) #22102
Performing Hajj and Umrah on Behalf of Elderly People

SUMMARY: It is permissible to perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of an elderly person who is unable to do so himself.

Narrated AbuRazin: A man of Banu Amir said: Messenger of Allah, my father is very old, he cannot perform hajj and umrah himself nor can be ride on a mount. He said: Perform hajj and umrah on behalf of your father.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، - بِمَعْنَاهُ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، - قَالَ حَفْصٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَلاَ الْعُمْرَةَ وَلاَ الظَّعْنَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ احْجُجْ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of performing Hajj and Umrah, two religious obligations in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by a man from Banu Amir if his elderly father, who was too old to perform the pilgrimage himself, could have someone else do it for him. The Prophet replied that it would be permissible for someone else to perform the pilgrimage on behalf of his father. This hadith teaches us that we should help those who are unable to fulfill their religious obligations due to age or other reasons. We should also be mindful of our elders and take care of them in any way we can.
