The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of living, incapacitated parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykhs, the questioner is of Bangladeshi nationality. He says: Is it permissible for me, after I have completed the rites of 'Umrah, to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my parents who reside in Bangladesh and are still alive, but who are unable to go to perform 'Umrah due to financial hardship?
Answer:
There is no objection. If you perform 'Umrah for yourself, you may perform it for the incapacitated one of your parents, provided this incapacity is not expected to end. However, if it is expected that they will be able to come and they have not yet performed the 'Umrah of Islam, it is obligatory for them to come if they are able. If they are not able because they have no money, then 'Umrah is not obligatory upon them. Hajj is only obligatory upon the one who is able,[Ali 'Imran 3:97] and 'Umrah is like Hajj; it is not obligatory except with the ability to perform it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh,

And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way
