Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Some scholars say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted Hajj on behalf of a deceased person, but not 'Umrah. Is 'Umrah valid? We need to know the evidence. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer: It is permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of another person, just as it is for Hajj, if that person is deceased or unable to do so, such as an elderly person or a sick person whose recovery is not expected. One may perform Hajj and 'Umrah on their behalf. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man who cannot perform Hajj or travel. Should I perform Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf?" He said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 930Sahih (Darussalam), so there is no harm in performing Hajj on his behalf.
