Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I said: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my mother, who is alive and physically capable of performing 'Umrah, but she is outside this country and cannot come to perform 'Umrah due to the costs?
Answer:
A living person does not have Hajj or 'Umrah performed on his behalf unless he is physically unable, in which case Hajj and 'Umrah are performed on his behalf by proxy. However, as long as he is physically capable and has not performed the Hajj of Islam or the 'Umrah of Islam, he must come and perform the 'Umrah himself or the Hajj himself. Allahu Akbar. The state of 'Amir (peace and blessings be upon him) upon our Prophet Muhammad.
