May the deceased's estate be used to perform a voluntary proxy Hajj for a person who already performed Hajj during their lifetime?
Short answer
If the deceased already performed Hajj in life, the Hajj obligation has been fulfilled and is no longer a debt payable from the estate.

Summary
If the deceased already performed Hajj in life, the Hajj obligation has been fulfilled and is no longer a debt payable from the estate. The estate therefore may not be used for a voluntary proxy Hajj, unless one or more heirs offer to bear the cost from their own shares. If the deceased left a will for such a Hajj, it must be carried out, provided the cost does not exceed one third of the remaining estate after funeral expenses and debts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, harta pusaka itu haram digunakan untuk melakukan badal haji sunat bagi si mati melainkan jika ada waris yang sukarela melepaskan bahagian yang sepatutnya mereka terima untuk menanggung kos tersebut.
