Sunan an-Nasai 5391 (Book 49, Hadith 13) #19923
Performing Hajj on Behalf of an Elderly Person

SUMMARY: A woman asked the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) if she could perform Hajj on behalf of her elderly father, and he said yes.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said: "Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah SAW when a woman from Khath'am came to ask him a question. Al-Fadl started looking at her, and she at him, and the Messenger of Allah SAW turned the face of Al-Fadl the other way. She said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the command of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, to His slaves to perform Hajj has come while my father is an old man, and he cannot sit firmly in the saddle; can I perform Hajj on his behalf?' He said: 'Yes'. That was during the Farewell Pilgrimage".
قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ تَسْتَفْتِيهِ فَجَعَلَ الْفَضْلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَصْرِفُ وَجْهَ الْفَضْلِ إِلَى الشِّقِّ الآخَرِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِي الْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَثْبُتَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَذَلِكَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about a woman who asked the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) if she could perform Hajj on behalf of her elderly father, as he was too old to do it himself. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) replied that she could do so. This hadith teaches us that we should help those in need, especially our elders who may not be able to do certain things for themselves due to their age or health conditions. It also shows us the importance of performing religious duties such as Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam and a great act of worship for Muslims. We should strive to fulfill our religious obligations even when faced with difficulties or obstacles in doing so.
