Riyad as-Salihin: Book 10, Hadith 10

Laqit bin ‘Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “My father is a very old man and does not have strength to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) or ‘Umrah or to undertake the journey.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of your father.”.

وعن لقيط بن عامر رضي الله عنه أنه أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال‏:‏ إن أبي شيخ كبير لا يستطيع الحج ولا العمرة، ولا الظعن قال‏:‏ ‏
“‏حج عن أبيك واعتمر‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن صحيح‏.‏ ‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
