The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of a Deceased Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener, Salah 'Abd al-Hamid Mustafa, asks and says: I heard from some people that 'Umrah is not permissible for a deceased person. Is what was said correct?
Answer:
It is not correct if the deceased person was a Muslim; for 'Umrah is prescribed for him, and so is Hajj. If you perform 'Umrah on behalf of your deceased brother, or your father, or perform Hajj on his behalf, then you will be rewarded, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
