Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: I am a woman who performed 'Umrah on behalf of my paternal uncle, who passed away without ever having married and was advanced in age. She says: I am a woman who performed 'Umrah on behalf of my paternal uncle, who has passed away, never married, was old, and never performed 'Umrah in his lifetime. My son performed 'Umrah on behalf of my father, who has also passed away. He had sons, but they did not treat him well. Her question is: Is my action correct, since I prioritized my paternal uncle over my father in the 'Umrah?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if your father has already performed the obligatory 'Umrah and your 'Umrah on his behalf is a voluntary one, and you or your son performed a voluntary 'Umrah on his behalf. As for the grandfather, since he did not perform the obligatory 'Umrah and you performed it on his behalf, prioritizing him is permissible, because the obligatory act takes precedence over the voluntary one. Yes.
