Performing hajj or umrah only after one's parents go

Q: For doing Umrah or Hajj is it obligatory that only after parents do Umrah or Hajj then only son or daughter can do?

A: No, this is not correct. If hajj is fardh upon the children, then they should go for hajj and not delay. It is permissible for them to perform hajj or umrah before their parents.

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