The Permissibility of Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of a Deceased Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man performed 'Umrah, and after completing it, he went to Ta'if for work. After finishing his work, he wanted to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person. Is this permissible?
There is no blame on him. If a person performs 'Umrah and then leaves Makkah to Ta'if or Jeddah for a reason, and then he decides to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person, there is no blame on him.
The questioner: And if this is repeated four or five times in the same year?The Shaykh: Even if it is repeated, there is no objection. What is prohibited is being in Makkah, then going out to Tan'im to come back with the 'Umrah. That is what is prohibited.
