Question:
The questioner says: I am a young man who performed 'Umrah for myself, then I went to al-Madinah, and when I returned, I entered the state of ihram from the miqat and intended to perform 'Umrah for my deceased uncle's wife, knowing that my parents are still alive, and this aunt of mine has children. Is this 'Umrah valid?
Answer:
If Allah wills, it is valid on behalf of the deceased. Performing 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person is valid if Allah the Exalted accepts it.
