Performing 'Umrah on behalf of an incapacitated father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says, may Allah reward you: Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my father, who is unable to perform 'Umrah, given that he has already performed 'Umrah?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible?
The questioner:
Performing 'Umrah on behalf of a father who is unable to perform it means:
The Shaykh:
If he has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam and is unable to perform it himself, he appoints someone to perform the 'Umrah of Islam on his behalf, whether his son or another person. He appoints someone to perform the 'Umrah of Islam on his behalf. However, if he is capable in his own estimation, even if he is carried—meaning he can bear being carried—he must perform the 'Umrah himself. Yes.
