Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of another person after intending to perform Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I came in the month of Shawwal to perform 'Umrah, and afterwards I stayed in Makkah to perform the obligatory Hajj. While I was in Makkah, I entered the state of ihram at the Jami' Mosque to perform 'Umrah for my deceased mother. Is the 'Umrah I performed on behalf of my deceased mother valid? And do I owe one sacrificial animal or two?

Answer:
You owe one sacrificial animal, the sacrifice for tamattu'. The second 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills, the one you intended for your mother. Your own 'Umrah is the one you performed when you came from the miqat. As for the second 'Umrah, it is as you intended it, as you intended it for your mother, and it is valid, if Allah wills, provided that you performed it in the prescribed manner, then it is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
