It is narrated from Sayyidah Sawdah bint Zam'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that his father was a very old man and did not have the strength to perform Hajj. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Tell me, if your father owed a debt and you paid it on his behalf, would it be accepted from him?" The man said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah Almighty (having His right fulfilled) is more deserving, so perform Hajj on behalf of your father."
