Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
But he asks: Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah as a charity on behalf of one's parents while they are alive and able to perform 'Umrah?
Answer:
No. Hajj and 'Umrah do not allow representation on behalf of the deceased; one performs Hajj on behalf of the deceased and 'Umrah on behalf of the deceased. Likewise, one performs Hajj on behalf of a living person who is prevented from performing Hajj or 'Umrah himself, whose inability is continuous and not expected to end in the future, who is unable in a continuous state and has not performed Hajj or 'Umrah. So he performs on his behalf the Hajj of Islam and the 'Umrah of Islam. Yes.
