The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of one's parents while they are alive

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Regarding performing 'Umrah on behalf of one's mother or father while they are alive, is this permissible?

Answer:
It is not permissible unless they are unable to perform the obligatory act of Islam, whether Hajj or 'Umrah, due to a permanent inability that is not expected to end. In that case, it is permissible for you to perform Hajj on their behalf. It is obligatory for them to appoint someone to perform the obligatory Hajj on their behalf, whether you or someone else. Yes.
