Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person, or to act as a substitute in the context of the police?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person. If it is not permissible to perform Hajj on his behalf, how much more so if he has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perform Hajj on behalf of your father, and perform 'Umrah." A questioner asked him about a man whose father had died without having fulfilled the obligation of Hajj, and asked if he should perform Hajj on his behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So we perform 'Umrah on his behalf just as we perform Hajj on his behalf. Yes.
