Performing 'Umrah on behalf of an incapacitated mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: My mother is unable to perform 'Umrah now, and she is still alive. Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on her behalf? And is it necessary for me to inform her?
Answer:
If she has already performed the obligatory 'Umrah or the obligatory Hajj, then that is sufficient. However, if she is unable to do so, has not performed Hajj or 'Umrah, and has lost hope of performing Hajj and 'Umrah herself, then she must appoint someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. She appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf, just as an old, decrepit man or a chronically ill person whose illness is not expected to end appoints someone to perform Hajj or 'Umrah on their behalf for the obligatory act. Yes.
