Question:
Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased father?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with you performing Hajj on behalf of your deceased father and performing 'Umrah on his behalf. This is something that benefits him, if Allah wills, provided that Allah accepts it, because there is evidence for this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that Hajj be performed on behalf of a deceased person and that 'Umrah be performed on behalf of a deceased person. So there is no blame in doing this. Rather, there is a reward for you in it, and there is a reward for the deceased person as well.
