5395. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Abbâs that a man asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ: "The (command to perform) Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot sit firmly in the saddle, and if I tie him, I fear that he may die. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Do you think that if he owed a debt you would pay it off for him?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father." (Sahîh)
