The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of a sister who is unable to speak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: A man has a sister who is over sixty years old. Her memory was sound, but she has become unable to speak. Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on her behalf?
Answer:
No, she should perform 'Umrah herself. She should perform 'Umrah herself, even if she is unable to speak, because 'Umrah consists of tawaf, sa'y, and shortening the hair. Even if she does not speak, her 'Umrah is valid. If she performs tawaf, sa'y, and shortens her hair—after first entering the state of ihram, then performing tawaf, then sa'y, then shortening her hair—that is the 'Umrah, even if she does not speak.
