The ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased relative
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My sister’s husband passed away two years ago (may Allah have mercy on him). I intend to perform 'Umrah on his behalf (if Allah wills), knowing that I have already fulfilled the obligation of Hajj (praise be to Allah). Is it permissible for me to go to Makkah al-Mukarramah and perform 'Umrah for myself and for him? Please inform us about this. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you have already performed 'Umrah for yourself, then you may perform 'Umrah on his behalf (may Allah reward you with good) from the miqat that you pass through; you enter the state of ihram from the miqat. However, if you have not performed 'Umrah for yourself, then you must start with yourself: perform 'Umrah for yourself, and then perform 'Umrah for him if you wish. You are upon a great reward. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
