Question:
The questioner says: My father has passed away, and he had previously performed Hajj as an individual. Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on his behalf after I have performed 'Umrah for myself?
Answer:
Yes, if he did not perform 'Umrah, did not intend to, did not combine 'Umrah with Hajj as tamattu', and did not combine 'Umrah with Hajj as qiran, but only entered the state of ihram as an individual for Hajj alone, and had not previously performed 'Umrah, then you should perform 'Umrah on his behalf, because 'Umrah is obligatory once in a lifetime, just like Hajj. Yes.
