Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the stars is al-Hurwa, and it departs from the saying if one is unable or able.
Answer:
The obligatory 'Umrah: if a person is unable due to a permanent incapacity, the obligatory 'Umrah is performed on his behalf, such as for an old, decrepit person or a chronically ill person who cannot travel to perform the obligatory 'Umrah or the obligatory Hajj. As for voluntary acts, one does not perform voluntary Hajj or 'Umrah on behalf of a living person; rather, voluntary acts are performed on behalf of a deceased person. One does not perform voluntary acts on behalf of a living person; it is sufficient to perform the obligatory act on his behalf if he is unable due to a permanent incapacity. As for charity, there is no harm in giving charity on behalf of a living person or a deceased person.
