One who dies before completing the 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: I am from one of the villages of Jizan, and I went to the Noble Makkah in search of work. Indeed, I worked there and settled down, and I brought my family with me. At first, my mother was not with us, but she came to visit us and to perform 'Umrah. However, during the 'Umrah, while in the Sa'y, she stumbled and fell to the ground and was injured. We took her to the hospital, but she passed away as a result. I completed that 'Umrah on her behalf. Is what I did valid or not? I also performed Hajj on her behalf. I performed all its pillars and obligations, except for the Sa'y after the Tawaf al-Ifadah, which I was unable to perform due to physical disability. I walk on one leg, and I use a cane to lean on for the other. I did not have enough money to hire a vehicle. What is required of me in this regard?
Answer: As for the first part of the question, which is that your mother died
before completing the rituals of 'Umrah, and you completed the 'Umrah on her behalf, this is a good thing, and your completing it on her behalf is a matter of precaution. Otherwise, if you had not completed it on her behalf, she would have performed what she was able to and died while in the midst of the work. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the story of the man whose mount stumbled on him at 'Arafah, and he died while in a state of ihram, ordered the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to bury him in his clothes, and forbade covering his head, and forbade him from applying perfume,And he said, may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him:Sunan an-Nasa'i 2713 , which indicates that if a person in ihram dies, he remains in his ihram until he is resurrected, and that it is not made up on his behalf, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the Companions to make up the remaining rituals of Hajj for him,He said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 2713 , so he remains in his ihram.
Perhaps your mother is of this nature, because she died in the midst of the ritual, so she remains in her state until Allah (Mighty and Majestic) resurrects her.
But since you performed the remaining rituals on her behalf, this is a matter of precaution, so may Allah reward you with good.
As for the second part of the question, which is that you performed Hajj on her behalf after her death, as a way of being dutiful to her and doing good to her, this is something for which you are to be thanked, and we hope that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will accept from us and from you righteous deeds.
As for leaving off the Sa'y, this is a mistake, because it is obligatory for you to complete the rituals, and the Sa'y is a pillar of the pillars of Hajj, and Hajj is not completed without it. If you entered ihram
for Hajj alone, or you combined 'Umrah and Hajj, and you performed the Sa'y after the Tawaf al-Qudum, then you do not have to perform the Sa'y after the Tawaf al-Ifadah; the previous Sa'y is sufficient.
However, if you were in a state of tamattu', or if you were combining, or if you were performing Hajj alone and did not perform the Sa'y after the Tawaf al-Qudum, then the Sa'y remains obligatory upon you. It is obligatory for you to complete it. It is obligatory for you to go and perform the Sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, seven rounds, with the intention of the Sa'y of Hajj. And if you had intercourse with your wife during this period, then you must slaughter a sheep as a blood expiation, and distribute it to the poor of Makkah.
Question: In the first part of the question, which is that his mother was injured while performing 'Umrah, if we assume that she did not die but was unable to walk, for example, or unable to stand?
Answer: She is to be carried around for the Tawaf, and it is not permissible for her son to complete it on her behalf, because carrying her is not an insurmountable difficulty. So she is carried around for the Tawaf, or she is carried for the Sa'y, and she completes it herself.
