The questioner:
The questioner says: If a person wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of someone else, is it obligatory for him to wear the ihram garments, or does he wear sewn clothing? And does he have to go outside Makkah to make the intention, or does he make the intention where he is?
The Shaykh:
What should I say?
The questioner:
He says: If a person wants to perform 'Umrah on behalf of someone else, is it obligatory for him to wear the ihram garments, or does he wear sewn clothing?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is obligatory for him to do the 'Umrah on behalf of another person just as he does the 'Umrah for himself. He must remove the sewn garments and wear the izar and rida. He goes to the miqat and enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah from there. The miqat for the people of Makkah is al-Hal, Taneem, or al-Ja'ranah, or outside the Haram. He performs the 'Umrah for the other person just as he performs the 'Umrah for himself; it is the same. Yes.
