It is permissible for a man to perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of his deceased father or a father who is permanently incapacitated, provided that he has already performed Hajj and Umrah for himself first. If the father is alive and capable, then it is not permissible to deputize someone on his behalf. If he is alive but incapacitated, then his permission is required.
