The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of another person for a fee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person, a friend of mine from a long time ago, and there was truly affection between us, asked me to perform 'Umrah on his behalf while he is in his country. He said that when I return to my country, he will give me money in exchange for this 'Umrah. Is that permissible?
Answer:
If he is unable to perform Hajj and 'Umrah due to a permanent inability, and it is not expected that he will be able to, then you perform the ritual on his behalf because of his inability to do so. As for Hajj, acting as a substitute is allowed if it is an obligatory duty (fard). As for voluntary acts, there is no evidence for this in voluntary acts; this was only mentioned regarding obligatory duties. As for you taking something that you did not stipulate, but rather you initiated it and he gave it to you, take it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
