Question:
This is a question from someone who wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father. He asks: Is your father dead or alive?
Answer:
If he is alive and able to perform 'Umrah, do not perform it on his behalf. But if he is alive and unable to perform 'Umrah, whether currently or in the future, then perform it on his behalf and do in your 'Umrah on his behalf exactly what you did in your 'Umrah for yourself, with the sole exception of the intention; the only difference is the intention. Yes.
