Hadith Q3037
بِمِثْلِ اللَّفْظَةِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّهَا مُجْمَلَةٌ غَيْرُ مُفَسَّرَةٍ
The wording of the hadith in this regard is general, not detailed (that is, the hadith mentions performing Hajj on behalf of an old man, but does not mention a woman; however, Hajj can be performed on behalf of both men and women).
Hadith 3037
حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْجَزَّارُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي الْحَجَّاجِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَوْفٌ ، عَنِ
الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ أَدْرَكَ الإِسْلامَ ، وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ وَلا يَسْتَمْسِكُ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ ، وَإِنْ شَدَدْتُهُ بِالْحَبَلِ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " احْجُجْ عَنْ أَبِيكَ " .
Imam Hasan Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) says that it has reached me that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My elderly father has accepted Islam and he has not performed Hajj, nor can he sit firmly on a mount, and if I tie him to the mount with a rope, I fear that I might kill him." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perform Hajj on behalf of your father."
Hadith 3038
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) in a similar manner as mentioned above, with only this difference that in this narration, a questioner asked about his mother.
