Any persons who can afford hajj but due to illness or old age
cannot perform it should send someone else to perform it on his behalf.
"A woman inquired of the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam ,' Allah has made hajj obligatory upon His servants, but my father is too old to sit steadily on his camel; should i perform hajj on his behalf?' The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam gave her permission to do so, and this happened during the Farewell Pilgrimage."
'Al-Fadhi bin 'Abbas related:

'Al-Fadhi bin 'Abbas related:
It is necessary that someone performing hajj for someone else must have
previously made his own hajj.
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas reported:
"During the Farewell Pilgrimage the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam heard someone calling out, 'Labbayk on behalf of Shubhrumah. He asked of that person whether the had performed his own hajj. Upon receiving a reply in the negative, the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam told him to perform hajj for himself first and then perform hajj on behalf of Shubrumah."

The person performing hajj on behalf of another will have the
reward of a voluntary hajj for himself and will also have fulfilled the
obligation of the invalid or deceased.
