Is it permissible for a man to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father, given that he has already performed 'Umrah for himself, and from where should he enter the state of ihram?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
'Abd al-Malik: I performed 'Umrah and Hajj for myself, and then I intended to perform 'Umrah for my father. First, is this action permissible? And second, from where should he enter the state of ihram?
The Shaykh : Before proceeding to the answer, I fear that there is something in the question, at least, that was not intended by the questioner.The questioner : Perhaps the question is about a real situation. What I fear is that I recalled the story of Shubrumah, who responded to the call of Hajj on behalf of a man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Who is Shubrumah?" He said, "A brother of mine or a relative." He said, "Have you performed Hajj for yourself?" He said, "No." He said, "Perform Hajj for yourself, then perform Hajj for Shubrumah." So I fear, as I fear, that you have linked 'Umrah to Hajj in this condition. That is why the question was phrased as a man who performed 'Umrah for himself and then wanted to perform 'Umrah for his father. I do not think that this was intended.
Abd al-Malik: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, so the answer is that it is permissible for him to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father without doubt, on the condition that he goes out to the non-sacred area (Hill). Going out to the Hill has two conditions, or we can say a condition of validity and a condition of perfection. As for the condition of validity, it is that he returns to the miqat of his country. We do not find anything that obligates him to do so. Rather, the basic condition is going out to the nearest area of the Hill, and he enters the state of ihram from there, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) to go out to al-Tan'if to complete what she missed of the 'Umrah of Hajj. So whether he goes out to al-Tan'if, or to al-Ji'ranah, or to any other place in the Hill, that is permissible.
