Laqit bin `Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I came to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and said:
"My father is a very old man and does not have strength
to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) or `Umrah or to undertake the journey.''
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
"Perform Hajj and `Umrah on behalf of your father.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith also stresses permission of Hajj through representative
where a person is not capable of doing it. But it is essential that
the representative agent must have already performed Hajj.
