Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my deceased parents after I have performed 'Umrah for myself, even if it is on the same day?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it possible that after I perform 'Umrah for myself, I go to the miqat to perform 'Umrah for my deceased father, and then go to the miqat again to perform 'Umrah for my deceased mother, even if that is in one day or two days? And is it permissible for me to repeat the same thing every time I perform 'Umrah for myself? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Staying in Makkah for one who came for 'Umrah or for a pilgrimage is better for him than going back and forth to the miqat by repeating 'Umrah in a short period of time. If he stays in Makkah, his prayer in the Sacred Mosque, every prayer is worth a hundred thousand prayers, and his sitting in the Sacred Mosque and his tawaf around the House are better than his going to the miqat and repeating 'Umrah. He can supplicate for his parents while he is in the Haram during his tawaf, during his prayer, and while he is sitting in the Sacred Mosque. This is better for him than repeating 'Umrah. As for the permissibility, in principle it is permissible, but it is contrary to what is best. It is permissible according to the correct opinion, but it is contrary to what is best. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
