The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A man has passed away, and he died by suicide. Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah and Hajj on his behalf?
The Shaykh:
How?
The questioner:
He says: A man has passed away, and he died by suicide. Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah and Hajj on his behalf?
The Shaykh:
The fact that he committed suicide does not make him a disbeliever. He killed himself; he is one who killed himself, and this does not necessitate that he becomes a disbeliever on account of it. So 'Umrah is performed on his behalf.
