The ruling on performing 'Umrah for a woman with a permanent state of ritual impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Riyadh says that she works in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and her mother is seriously ill and unable to walk. She is also suffering from diabetes and cannot control her urination. I want to send for her to come, along with my brother who is caring for her. Is it permissible, O Shaykh, for us to arrange for her to have a urinary catheter inserted before arriving in Makkah? And is it permissible for her to perform tawaf and pray in the Haram while wearing the catheter? Please note that a special bag is attached to the end of the catheter to control and collect the urine, preventing it from soaking through. I have already performed 'Umrah on her behalf previously, and I performed another 'Umrah for her when I returned to Egypt. I informed her of this and mentioned that I had performed 'Umrah on her behalf. However, she is eager to see the Ka'bah, perform the rituals of 'Umrah, and visit the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). Despite this, she has already performed the Hajj of Islam and the 'Umrah of Islam.
Answer:
It is better for her to be content with that, because she has a permanent state of ritual impurity, and travel and coming to Makkah and al-Madinah is difficult for her, along with the continuous state of impurity and physical weakness that accompanies her. So she may stay, and reward will be recorded for her, if Allah wills, due to the sincerity of her intention and her love for righteous deeds.
