The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of a Deceased Person by Multiple Individuals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If my brother and I, for example, want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of our father, and we enter the Haram at the same time, and we perform tawaf and sa'y and shave our heads at the same time, is the 'Umrah valid on behalf of our father, or is it obligatory for each of us to perform 'Umrah at a time different from the other?
Answer:
It is all permissible. If you gather and enter the state of ihram together and perform the rites of 'Umrah together, there is no harm in that. Each person performs this 'Umrah, so it becomes multiple 'Umrahs for one person at the same time by several people, and there is no objection to that. And if you separate, one after the other, there is no objection to that either.
