Ohhh... but its clear. He will play you.
After all seems like you are developing something interesting here. Due credit must be given.
Faisal bhaijaan, are you trying to be blasphemous?
No. Are you?
No. I never considered myself a prophet. You did.
But you see, this post of yours is so telling. Just put each sentence in a different line and number them. You have four ethos of your faith right there.

1. Dua, charity etc is a form of incentive to do good on the name of your dead parents.
Hajj is supposed to be performed by yourself out of your own desire to perform it.
A deceased person doesn't have a desire of his own nor does he have the ability.
There is no charitable deed done in case of hajj.

Faisal bhaijaan, I don't think it's me. I think it's you. You get awe-inspired easily.
Read it again. You will be awed too. You are onto something big here. If only you can see yourself.
Please stick to the topic guys.
Thankyou,
Minerva.

But it doesn't make any sense in the case of hajj because when you're paying someone to do hajj for someone else, the hajj performing person doesn't get any hajj benefit out for himself (since he's not affording it on his own for himself), while the deceased don't have the benefit of it either since they're not performing themselves either. Also, hajj is supposed to be performed by yourself out of your own desire to perform it. A deceased person doesn't have a desire of his own nor does he have the ability. There is no charitable deed done in case of hajj. Building a school, hospital, sure.

The question youve raised makes alot of sense.
Hajj is an obligatory duty on those who have the means to perform it.
There is wisdom in why it is fard.
It's very hard to write it in a post, but if you ever have time do read 'Inner dimensions of islamic worship' by Al-Ghazali. It does have the answer to your question, on 'people performing hajj on behalf of others'.
