Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I came from Oman and I want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my uncle. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
If your uncle is alive and has not performed the Islamic 'Umrah, then it is obligatory for him to come and perform it himself, unless he is unable to do so due to a permanent incapacity that prevents him from coming, whether in the present or in the future. In that case, he appoints you as his agent, and you perform the Islamic 'Umrah on his behalf.
