The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah on Behalf of Another and Informing Them of It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions from this questioner, she says: My father is still alive, and I wish to perform 'Umrah for him, as he is unable to perform the rites of 'Umrah. Is there any showing off (riya') in informing him that I performed 'Umrah for him?
Answer:
If he is unable due to old age, or an illness that is not expected to end, and you performed Hajj on his behalf, then there is nothing wrong with it, even if you did not inform him. May Allah reward you with good. This is part of your dutifulness to him. If he is unable due to old age, or because the patient’s recovery is not expected, and you performed Hajj on his behalf, then there is no need to inform him or ask him. Be glad of good and reward.
