Hajj or worship in someone else's name

“We have been hearing since childhood that Umrah and Hajj can be performed in someone else's name. Similarly, if a child prays or performs any worship in the name of his father or mother, is there any reality to this from the Quran and authentic hadith? Not at all, not at all, not at all. No, no, no, not in Quran, nor in hadith. This is a religion made up by Muslims themselves, they made it up themselves.”Asked by شمریز اقبال
