2904. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Shall I perform Hajj on behalf of my father?' He said: 'Yes, perform Hajj on behalf of your father, for if you cannot add any good to his record (at least) you will not add anything bad.'" (Da'if)
2904 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَحُجُّ عَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَزِدْهُ خَيْرًا، لَمْ تَزِدْهُ شَرًّا»

Performing Hajj and Umrah on behalf of parents is allowed whether they are alive, but do not have the ability of performing them, or deceased. Parents do many favors for their children, hence one should do the acts that benefit them, or at least shun the deeds that are considered as being ingratitude to them.
