Hajj on behalf of the deceased who performed Hajj in his lifetime

Question
My father passed away nine months ago. Is it permissible for us to perform Hajj on his behalf while he is deceased, knowing that he had performed Hajj but wished to repeat it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The pilgrimage that your father performed in his lifetime has fulfilled his obligation of the Islamic pilgrimage, but it is permissible for you to perform Hajj and dedicate the reward of the pilgrimage to him in fulfillment of his wish. This is recommended from you, and God knows best.
