Is it permissible for someone to perform 'Umrah for his valley after performing it for himself, and what is the best deed a child can do for his parents after their death?

Question : Honorable Shaykh, there is a person who wants to perform 'Umrah for himself, and he also wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father. If he completes his 'Umrah, does he return to the miqat and enter the state of ihram for his father, or does he simply intend it for his father?

Answer : We hold that 'Umrah is not repeated, and that a person who has performed the first 'Umrah does not repeat it from Makkah.
This is because it is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the Companions, and it is not known among them. To our knowledge, this did not occur except in a specific case, the case of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). She had entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and while on the way, she began menstruating. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her while she was crying and asked, "What is wrong with you? Have you given birth?" She said, "No, this is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam." He then ordered her to enter the state of ihram for Hajj, meaning to add Hajj to her 'Umrah so that she would be performing Qiran, and the acts of Hajj would suffice for both Hajj and 'Umrah. He told her that her tawaf of the House and her sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah would suffice for her Hajj and 'Umrah. However, when the Hajj was over, she (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform an 'Umrah, saying, "The people will return with an 'Umrah and a Hajj, while I return with only a Hajj." When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that her heart was not at ease except by doing so, he permitted her to go out to al-Tan'if to perform an 'Umrah. He sent her brother 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) with her. 'Abd al-Rahman did not enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. This indicates that entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah from Makkah is not known, and it indicates that repeating 'Umrah is not known among them. Otherwise, it would have been an opportunity for 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. So we say that if a situation arises like the situation of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and a woman's heart is not at ease except by performing an 'Umrah after Hajj, then we grant a dispensation for that, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for it. As for anything else, it is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) or from his Companions that they used to go out to al-Tan'if to perform an 'Umrah. And here is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), despite his intense eagerness for good and worship, who remained in Makkah for nineteen days during the Year of the Conquest, some of which were in Ramadan and some after Ramadan, yet he did not perform an 'Umrah, even though the matter was easy for them. Therefore, we hold that 'Umrah is not repeated in a single journey, and that a person should limit himself to the first 'Umrah he came to perform. Then, if he wishes to benefit his father, his mother, or anyone else, let him make du'a' for them, for du'a' is better than performing 'Umrah or Hajj. This is evidenced by the saying of the Prophet . He did not say "or a righteous son who performs a righteous deed for the deceased," but rather he said "or a righteous son who makes du'a' for him." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided the son to make du'a' for his father rather than doing something for him.
