Answer
In principle, it is not permissible to carry out an action on behalf of another person if such an action require selfsacrifice coupled with monetary expenditure, like Hajj, etc.
However, we suggest you perform Umrah. Thereafter, convey the Thawaab (reward) to your elderly mother. (Shaami vol.2 pg.599; HM Saeed)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
