Answer:
It is not permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a living, strong person who is able to come; it is not permissible for someone else to perform 'Umrah or Hajj for him. He must come himself. As for the one who is unable, meaning one who is incapacitated by a continuous inability due to old age, senility, or a chronic illness, there is no harm in performing 'Umrah al-Islam on his behalf and Hajj al-Islam on his behalf.
