Permission of Hajj and `Umrah through representative

Laqit bin `Amir (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

I came to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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 (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Perform Hajj and `Umrah on behalf of your father.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary:
This Hadith also stresses permission of Hajj through representative where a person is not capable of doing it. But it is essential that the representative agent must have already performed Hajj.
