Hajj-e-Badal

Hajj-e-badal

Q: I want to perform Hajj for the second time. Can I perform this Hajj as Hajj-e-badal for my father as he is not well since he has hypertensive, sugar and prostate problems. I have problem with a mahram. My 15 year old nephew will turn 16 soon. Can he go with me as a mahram?

Performing Hajj for a person who did not make any bequest for Hajj-e-badal

Q: My mother passed away 38 years ago. She made her niyyat to perform her hajj but she passed away before she could do it. My mother had two children from a previous marriage from which one son passed away twelve years ago without doing his hajj. Almost three years ago, my father also passed away without doing his hajj. He left a house behind which we, as his children, are in the process of selling. After selling the house, can we use the money, which is our inheritance, to pay someone to perform hajj-e-badal on behalf of my mother, father and brother? 

Delaying Hajj until one is unable to perform it due to old age

Q: A person had the means of performing hajj, but didn't do so. When he becomes old he becomes more practising and regrets not having performed hajj when he was young. Now he is too old, weak and sick to perform hajj. Will he be punished in the hereafter for not having performed hajj when he was young and able to do so, or will he be forgiven due to his regret?
