Performing 'Umrah on behalf of one's mother while she is still alive: What is the ruling?

Question:
We have Abu Fahd with us from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. Go ahead, Abu Fahd. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. My question is: I performed the 'Umrah for my mother last year in Ramadan. My mother is in Yemen, and she is, I mean, over seventy-five years old. I don't know if her age qualifies her or not? And the question is, what is it, Abu Fahd? The questioner performed 'Umrah for her mother. Her mother is approximately seventy-five years old and is in Yemen, and I am not in Saudi Arabia. Okay. I performed 'Umrah for her last Ramadan. Okay. Did the 'Umrah count or not? Now, some people say no, it is not permissible unless she has died; then it is permissible for her. Thank you. I told them no, this is based on her being alive; I just performed 'Umrah. The question is clear, Abu Fahd. It is clear.

Answer:
My brother, if she has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam and she is unable to do so because of her advanced age or because of a chronic illness that prevents her from traveling, there is no harm in you performing it on her behalf and fulfilling the 'Umrah of Islam or the Hajj of Islam for her. However, if she is strong and able to perform Hajj with her own body, then you bring her, and she performs the 'Umrah or the Hajj herself. Yes.
