Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: He performed Hajj as an individual (ifrad) and has never performed 'Umrah. Is it permissible for him to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a living person or one who is unable to do so, or must he perform 'Umrah for himself first?
Answer:
Yes, one does not perform 'Umrah on behalf of anyone until he has performed it for himself. As for Hajj, he may perform it on behalf of another because he has performed it for himself. But 'Umrah is not like that; he must perform 'Umrah for himself first.
