Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, may Allah reward you, about performing 'Umrah on behalf of a person who is unable to perform 'Umrah?

Answer:
Hmm? Performing 'Umrah on behalf of a person who is unable to perform 'Umrah; he wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a person who is unable to perform 'Umrah.
If he is a Muslim and is absolutely unable, neither now nor in the future, and is what is called a chronic patient or an old man who is not expected to perform 'Umrah or Hajj in the future, then he appoints someone to perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf. As for the issue of the annual 'Umrah or annual Hajj, a living person is not appointed for, because, praise be to Allah, the matter is broad in this regard. Yes, a living person is not appointed for, and it has not been reported that a living person is appointed for in Hajj and 'Umrah. This was only reported regarding the deceased and not regarding the one who is disabled with a permanent disability. This is what the evidence was reported for. Yes.
