Is it permissible for a man to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his bedridden mother, for whom it is difficult to come to the Haram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed 'Umrah for myself, and I want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my mother, who is bedridden and unable to move; because coming to the Haram involves extreme hardship for her, and we are from a distant country. So, is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah for her? How is that done? And from where do I enter the state of ihram?

Answer:
If she has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam and is unable to come to Makkah, and it is excused that she comes to Makkah, you entrust it to someone to perform 'Umrah on her behalf; there is no harm in that. But if she has already performed the 'Umrah of Islam, you do not volunteer to perform 'Umrah on her behalf, but you should make du'a for her, seek forgiveness for her, and give charity on her behalf; this is sufficient. Yes.
