Hajj on behalf of the deceased

Question
Um gathered an amount of money and appointed someone to perform Hajj on behalf of her deceased son. Is that permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's success, it is permissible to perform Hajj on behalf of her deceased son, either by herself or by appointing someone else to perform Hajj on his behalf, and she will be rewarded for that. And God knows best.
