The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of the Living
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a friend who has done me a favor after Allah, and I love him. As a way of being loyal to him, I occasionally perform 'Umrah on his behalf. Before that, I performed 'Umrah on behalf of my father and my mother.
Answer:
This is a good thing. This falls under the category of performing Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of others, whether for the living or the dead. However, for the dead, it is permissible without restriction. As for the living, it is permissible if they are unable to perform Hajj or 'Umrah themselves due to a permanent inability. Yes.
