Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person to perform the 'Umrah on behalf of his deceased mother?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. It is recommended. It is recommended to perform the 'Umrah on behalf of one of your deceased parents, but on the condition that you have first performed the 'Umrah for yourself and that you have first performed Hajj for yourself. So if you have performed Hajj for yourself, you may perform it for another, and if you have performed the 'Umrah for yourself, you may perform it for another. As for the ihram, if you are coming to Makkah, you enter the state of ihram from the miqat that you pass through of the five miqats. And if you are in Makkah, you go out to al-Tan'īm or al-Ja'ranah or al-Hal and enter the state of ihram for the 'Umrah from there.
