Question:
He says: I performed 'Umrah for myself, and I want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my deceased brother. Is that permissible?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but you must go out to al-Hal and enter the state of ihram from outside the Haram. You do not enter ihram from Makkah; you enter ihram from outside the miles and the markers of the Haram, such as al-Ja'ranah or at-Tan'im. Yes.
