'Umrah on behalf of the father or relatives in the months of Hajj

The questioner:
The questioner says: If a person goes to Makkah from the beginning of Dhul-Qa'dah, is it permissible for him to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father or one of his relatives?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: If a person goes to Makkah from the beginning of Dhul-Qa'dah, is it permissible for him to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father or one of his relatives?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it; he may enter the state of ihram on behalf of his father or one of his relatives, whether in the months of Hajj or at other times. However, if he performs 'Umrah in the months of Hajj and then performs Hajj afterwards in the same year, he will be a person performing tamattu', and the fidyah becomes obligatory upon him. But if he limits himself to 'Umrah and does not perform Hajj in this year, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
