Question:
A questioner says: I am from Palestine, and I came to perform 'Umrah, praise be to Allah. Is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my father, knowing that he is unable to come to this country?
Answer:
No, if he is alive. If he is alive and has already performed the 'Umrah of Islam, that is sufficient. However, if he has not performed the 'Umrah of Islam and is unable to come—meaning it is an impediment for him to come, a permanent impediment where the removal of the barrier is not expected and he will not be able to come—then you may be appointed by him to perform the 'Umrah of Islam on his behalf. But if he has already performed the 'Umrah of Islam, that is sufficient. Yes.
