Question:
My father instructed me and made me swear by Allah to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his parents, that is, my grandmother and grandfather. I am coming to Makkah for the first time. Is it valid for me to do so?
Answer:
'Umrah is not performed on behalf of more than one person, unless his intention is to perform 'Umrah for one person, then return and perform 'Umrah for the second. Your obedience to your father in this matter is undoubtedly the best.
