English Translation
Ibn Abbas reported that a man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: My father is an old man and cannot perform Hajj. Shall I perform Hajj on his behalf? He said: 'Yes. Do you not see that if he had a debt and you paid it on his behalf, would it not suffice for him? This is like that.'
