The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of one's parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the one performing Qiran or Ifrad, after he has completed Hajj, to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father or mother, or does he only perform 'Umrah for himself? This is if his father or mother are deceased.
Answer:
There is no harm in that. However, if they are alive, a living person is not represented by another in an obligatory act unless he is unable to perform it himself; in that case, he is represented. As for voluntary acts, one is not represented in them while alive, because this has not been reported in the Sunnah. Representation is only reported for one who is unable to perform an obligatory act, or for a deceased person.
