Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This question asks: Is it permissible for me to supplicate for my grandfather with mercy and forgiveness? And to perform 'Umrah on his behalf, knowing that he did not pray during his lifetime.
Answer:
No, do not perform 'Umrah on his behalf, and do not supplicate for him. As long as you know that he did not pray, do not supplicate for him, do not perform 'Umrah on his behalf, and do not perform Hajj on his behalf, because there is no religion without prayer.
