Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my father or my grandfather. I know that some of my father's companions have performed 'Umrah for him, but as for my grandfather, I do not know if anyone has performed 'Umrah for him. His question is: Which one should I prioritize in the 'Umrah? And what is the best in that?
Answer:
Prioritize the one you see has not performed 'Umrah, that he has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam or a voluntary 'Umrah. The one who has not performed 'Umrah takes precedence over the one for whom 'Umrah has been performed. Yes.
