Exoneration from a sick wife in 'Umrah and performing it on her behalf

The questioner:
He says: Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my wife, because she has a mental illness and anxiety, and she does not like crowds or tight spaces, and her breathing becomes difficult, and she has asked me to perform 'Umrah on her behalf?

The Shaykh:
If she has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam, and she is unable to perform 'Umrah due to a chronic illness that is not expected to end, then there is nothing wrong with performing 'Umrah on her behalf; you may delegate it to yourself and perform 'Umrah on her behalf. However, if she has already performed the 'Umrah of Islam, there is no need for someone to perform it on her behalf, because the delegation in Hajj and 'Umrah is not prescribed except for those who have passed away, or for those who are alive but are unable to perform Hajj or 'Umrah due to a permanent incapacity, and have not performed the Hajj of Islam or the 'Umrah of Islam.
