The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of a Deceased Father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. This questioner says: My father passed away last month of Sha'ban, and I would like to perform 'Umrah on his behalf. Is that permissible? And what is the wording of the intention?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; this is an act of dutifulness toward him. Performing 'Umrah for him in Ramadan is better. You intend when entering the state of ihram that it is for your father, when entering the state of ihram, when making the contract of ihram, you intend it for your father. Yes.
