Performing hajj and conveying the reward to one's deceased parents

Q: My parents passed away 10 years ago and they did'nt perform Hajj. Insha Allah me and my wife are planning to perform hajj on behalf of my parents. If we do, will hajj be completed for us or do we have to perform one more hajj for us?

A: If both of you are performing your fard hajj then this hajj will not be on behalf of your parents. However, it is permissible for you both to convey the reward to your fard hajj to your deceased parents.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
