What is the ruling on gifting the 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) to a living person?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: I came to Saudi Arabia for work, and it never occurred to me that the company in Riyadh would assign me to Makkah. Praise be to Allah, I am currently residing in Makkah and have performed 'Umrah twice. Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my father and my mother, who are both still alive? Please give us a ruling. May Allah bless you.

Answer:
One who is alive does not perform it on his behalf, unless he is unable to do so due to a permanent disability, being unable to perform 'Umrah and Hajj (the major pilgrimage) due to a permanent disability. In that case, he appoints someone to perform Hajj al-Islam on his behalf and someone to perform 'Umrah al-Islam on his behalf. As for a capable, living person, no one performs Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf; rather, he performs Hajj or 'Umrah for himself. Yes.
