Question:
I intend, if Allah wills, to perform 'Umrah on behalf of several deceased people, and my question is: Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah for all of them with a single tawaf, sa'y, and hair shortening, or does each person require his own tawaf, sa'y, and hair shortening? Please advise us, and may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, if those for whom you wish to perform 'Umrah are deceased, there is nothing wrong with performing 'Umrah on their behalf, provided that you have already performed 'Umrah for yourself. However, each person must have an independent 'Umrah with its own tawaf, sa'y, and hair shortening, because Hajj is not valid for more than one person, and likewise 'Umrah is not valid for more than one person, and they do not accept sharing. Yes.
