Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my father, first of all
Answer:
Is your father alive or dead? If he is dead, there is no harm in performing 'Umrah on his behalf. Performing 'Umrah on behalf of another is like performing it on behalf of yourself: you enter the state of ihram with the intention that this 'Umrah is for so-and-so. The intention is made at the time of entering ihram, intending it for the person you wish. As for verbalizing it, it is not obligatory. If you recite the talbiyah and say "Labbaik for so-and-so," there is no harm. Otherwise, the intention in the heart is sufficient.
