Are there conditions for performing 'Umrah on behalf of another person?

Question:
Yes, performing Hajj on behalf of another is permissible with certain conditions. I also ask about 'Umrah: is it like Hajj or not? Because I have noticed people performing tawaf on behalf of their relatives, such as their mother, father, or brothers. What is the ruling in this matter? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, 'Umrah is like Hajj. The condition for acting as a proxy is that the proxy must have performed 'Umrah al-Islam for himself, that he must be of legal age, and that he must have performed 'Umrah al-Islam for himself. As for tawaf around the House, it is permissible for a person to perform tawaf in the House as a voluntary act for himself or for another, and it is not required that he has performed 'Umrah al-Islam, nor that he has performed Hajj al-Islam. This is because this tawaf is voluntary, and it is not the tawaf of Hajj or 'Umrah. It is a tawaf performed voluntarily, not a tawaf of worship (nasik); it is neither the tawaf of Hajj nor the tawaf of 'Umrah. Rather, it is an independent tawaf. Therefore, it is permissible for a person to perform tawaf for himself and to perform tawaf for another, because in that there is reward and recompense for the one whom Allah the Exalted accepts. May Allah reward you with good and may He do you well.
