Question:
He says: I came performing 'Umrah, and I have completed my 'Umrah, praise be to Allah, and I want to perform another 'Umrah for my brother. Is that permissible?
Answer:
That is permissible. You may go out to the non-sacred area and enter the state of ihram for another 'Umrah for your brother or for yourself. This is permissible, but the better and more excellent option is to remain in the Sacred Mosque for circumambulating the Ka'bah, praying in it, and sitting in it. This is better than performing 'Umrah. You can also make supplication for your brother and for whoever you wish. If you come a second time, then make the 'Umrah for your brother or for whoever you wish. Yes.
