Musnad Ahmad 1812

Translation

✧ A man asked the Prophet ﷺ, saying, “O Messenger of Allah, my father came to Islam while he is an old man who cannot sit firmly on his mount. May I perform Hajj on his behalf?” He said, “What do you think if he had a debt and you paid it on his behalf, would that suffice him?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father.”
