Performing 'Umrah on behalf of one's parents while they are still alive!!!

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: What is the ruling for one who wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of one of his parents, while they are still alive, but an illness prevented him from performing 'Umrah? He passed the miqat without entering the state of ihram due to the illness, and now he wants to perform 'Umrah after Allah has healed him, and he is in Makkah. Does he enter the state of ihram from any place in Makkah, or must he go out to al-Tan'eem, or to the miqat he passed?

Answer : Yes. It is obligatory for one who wants to perform 'Umrah or Hajj, and who passes the miqat, not to pass the miqat until he enters the state of ihram from it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in what was narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both):
The people of Madina should enter ihram at Dhu'lقال يهل أهل المدينة من ذي
Muwatta Malik 20:24
The word "yahl" (he declares the intention) is a noun meaning what?
It means a command; a noun meaning a command. And based on this, it is obligatory for one who wants to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, if he passes the miqat, to declare his intention from it and not pass it. If he does so and passes it, it is obligatory for him to return to enter the state of ihram from it. If he returns and enters the state of ihram from it, there is no expiation on him. If he enters the state of ihram from his location and does not return, then according to the scholars, an expiation is required of him: he slaughters an animal and distributes it to the poor of Makkah. Based on this, we say to this person who came to Makkah to perform 'Umrah but became ill at the miqat and did not enter the state of ihram, and then Allah healed him: We say that it is obligatory for you now to go to the miqat you passed and enter the state of ihram from it.
