    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    If you did not perform your hajj in spite of it being obligatory upon you, then it is makrooh-e-tahreemi for you perform hajj on behalf of grandfather. You should first perform your own hajj otherwise send for hajj badal a person who has already performed his obligatory hajj.
