The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is your ruling, may Allah reward you? Is it permissible for a man to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his mother, his father, his brothers, and his paternal uncle, who have all passed away?
Answer:
Yes, he may perform 'Umrah for them, but he must not combine them in a single 'Umrah. Each person requires a separate 'Umrah. Hajj is not performed on behalf of more than one person, and 'Umrah is not performed on behalf of more than one person. So, he may perform 'Umrah on behalf of these deceased individuals: on behalf of his mother, on behalf of his father, on behalf of his paternal uncle, on behalf of his brother, and on behalf of any other deceased person he wishes. Each person requires a distinct, independent 'Umrah.
