Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, a man performed 'Umrah for himself, then he wanted to perform 'Umrah for one of his relatives, such as his grandmother. Is it permissible for him to perform 'Umrah for himself again and then go out to Tan'īm to perform 'Umrah for his grandmother or one of his relatives? Or should he perform 'Umrah from here directly and make the intention of ihram for his grandmother?
The Shaykh : Repeat that for me. He performed 'Umrah for himself?
The questioner : He performed 'Umrah for himself previously, then he wanted to perform 'Umrah for his grandmother. So, does he make the intention of ihram here for his grandmother and say, "Labbaik Allah, 'Umrah on behalf of my grandmother"? Or is it permissible for him to perform 'Umrah again, and when he has completed his 'Umrah, he goes out to Tan'īm to repeat the 'Umrah for...?
The Shaykh : Divide your question, my brother. May Allah reward you. You say he performed 'Umrah previously?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you mean previously, as in, a day ago?
The questioner : Yes, a day ago.
The Shaykh : A day ago?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, and he stayed in Makkah?
The questioner : He stayed in Makkah, yes.
The Shaykh : He stayed in Makkah, for a day or two days?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And then he wants to perform 'Umrah for his grandmother?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, and does he perform Hajj for his grandmother, as far as you know?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Okay, and why are you asking about performing 'Umrah for the grandmother, then? What is the difference between the two matters?
I mean, if you are convinced by a legal proof that he does not perform Hajj for her, because I fear that your answer may be hasty. If you are convinced by the legal proof that the grandson does not perform Hajj for his grandmother, then the same proof applies to performing 'Umrah for her. Is this clear?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Therefore, he does not perform Hajj for her. Rather, if she is alive, she performs Hajj for herself. And if she is dead, her son performs Hajj for her, and likewise 'Umrah for her. As for the grandson, in that case, we would have to perform Hajj for Adam and Eve if we chain the matter together. Is that clear?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, is there a remainder to your question?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Repeat that for me. He performed 'Umrah for himself?
The questioner : He performed 'Umrah for himself previously, then he wanted to perform 'Umrah for his grandmother.
