The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of another person at the mother's request
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is the last question. The questioner says: I performed 'Umrah, and then I wanted to perform another 'Umrah, so I asked you
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: I performed 'Umrah, and then I wanted to perform another 'Umrah, so my mother asked me to perform it on behalf of one of her relatives. I refused, so she said to me, "If you want my affection, perform the 'Umrah." So, if I perform the 'Umrah, is there any sin in this?
The Shaykh:
First, performing 'Umrah on behalf of another is permissible if the person is deceased, and there is no harm in it. Obey your mother, and you will obtain two rewards: the reward for obeying your mother and the reward for benefiting the deceased. However, if the person is alive and strong, tell your mother that it is not prescribed to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a healthy, active person who is capable. Explain this to her, and I do not think she will object to
