Many Muslims ask whether it is permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of both deceased parents in the same year, especially after completing their own obligatory pilgrimage.

Ruling on Performing Hajj for the Deceased
Dar Al-Ifta confirms that it is permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of a deceased person who was unable to perform it during their lifetime despite being financially able, and the reward reaches them.

Conditions of Delegated Hajj
Two main conditions are required:

• The pilgrim performing Hajj must bear the expenses of the pilgrimage.
• The intention must be clearly made at Ihram that the Hajj is on behalf of a specific deceased person.

Can One Person Perform Hajj for Both Parents in One Year?
It is not permissible for one person to perform Hajj for two individuals in the same year. Each person requires a separate pilgrimage.

Permissible Alternative
It is allowed to appoint another trusted person to perform Hajj for one parent while the individual performs it for the other, ensuring proper intention and financial responsibility.

Priority in Filial Duty
Scholars advise prioritizing the mother in acts of righteousness, based on prophetic teachings that emphasize her elevated status in kindness and care.

Conclusion
Hajj for each parent must be done separately, and combining both in one year by the same person is not valid, though delegation makes it possible within the same season.
