The ruling on a son performing 'Umrah on behalf of his elderly father

Question:
Please, Ya 'A'id from al-Ta'if, come on to the line with us. Please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. How are you, Shaykh Salih? Well, praise be to Allah. He is very old, and you performed 'Umrah on his behalf? A thousand, a thousand, authentic? His father is elderly, and you performed 'Umrah on his behalf yesterday, Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
If he has not performed 'Umrah, you perform the 'Umrah of Islam on his behalf, and he is unable to perform the 'Umrah of Islam. Even if he is carried and performs it, the 'Umrah of Islam must be performed. If he cannot walk, he is carried and performs the 'Umrah. However, if he is unable to do so, and he cannot be carried, and he cannot ride, or he is suffering from a chronic illness that is not expected to be cured, then you act as his substitute. He appoints you as his agent, and you perform the 'Umrah of Islam on his behalf. He appoints you, and you perform the 'Umrah of Islam on his behalf. Yes.
