Is it permissible to use financial earnings from an unlawful occupation (selling in a women's clothing store that is Islamically prohibited) to cover the expenses of the parents' Hajj, knowing that the father has already performed Hajj and the mother has not due to her advanced age, or is it preferable for both spouses to perform Hajj with this amount given the absence of other savings, and is it even valid to use this amount in either case?

A Muslim must dispose of ill-gotten wealth in charitable causes, and it is not permissible for him to spend from it on himself, his family, or his parents. Therefore, your wife must dispose of the money she obtained unlawfully by spending it on public funds, and it is not permissible for her to donate it for Hajj or to perform Hajj herself with it, due to her lack of legitimate ownership of it.
