Question:
He says: Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my mother while she is still alive?
Answer:
If she has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam and is unable to do so due to a permanent incapacity that prevents her from coming, such as being very old and frail or suffering from a chronic illness that prevents her from traveling to Makkah, and if you have already performed 'Umrah for yourself, then there is no harm in performing it on her behalf. However, if she is physically able to come, do not perform it on her behalf; rather, bring her with you and perform it with her.
