Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! My father is an old, elderly man; he does not have the ability to perform Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! Perform Hajj in place of your father.
