`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
There is no day on
which Allah sets free more slaves from Hell than He does on the Day of `Arafah
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Almighty Allah emancipates most of His slaves, both men and women from the Hell-fire on this
great day. Millions of pilgrims, who by virtue of their sincere repentance, try to seek the Pleasure of Allah certainly
stand to earn Allah's Pardon for their sins and thereby emancipation from the Hell-fire. May Allah grant us this
grace of His.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
(The performance of)
`Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajj (pilgrimage).'' Or said, "Equal to the performance of Hajj with me
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Equal to the performance of Hajj
'' means the return and reward to which Hajj is eligible. It does not
mean that it will serve as a substitute for Hajj and absolve one from the need to perform it. This distinction of
`Umrah in the month of Ramadan is perhaps for the reason, that in this way two acts of worship are combined at one
time.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
and said, "Allah's obligation upon His slaves has become obligatory on my father in his old age. My father is very
old and incapable of riding. May I perform Hajj on his behalf?'' He (PBUH) said, "
Yes
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Hajj has become obligatory in old ag
e'' means that when Allah has made Hajj obligatory, at that
time, her father had attained old age, or he came to possess the means in his old age which made him liable for Hajj,
but he is not capable of undertaking the journey because of his poor health. In such cases, the Prophet (PBUH) has
granted them permission for Hajj by representation. But we learn from other Ahadith that Hajj by representation can
only be done through such a person who has already performed Hajj. Similarly, if a person of means dies without
performing Hajj, it is essential that Hajj is performed on his behalf; otherwise, he will be answerable for this
omission. This formula does not apply to parents who have died in poverty because they were not liable for it. If
someone does it for the sake of reward, he will be hopefully granted the reward of voluntary Hajj.

Laqit bin `Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I came to the Prophet (PBUH) 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 (PBUH) 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.

As-Sai'b bin Yazid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I was seven years old when I was taken to
perform Hajj (pilgrimage). This was during the time the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) performed the Hajjat-ul-Wada`
(Farewell Pilgrimage)
.
[Al-Bukhari].
