Ruling on performing 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person

This message was received by the program from the listener Makawi Ahmad Muhammad from the Arab Republic of Egypt. He says in his message: Is it valid for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my deceased mother, given that I have already performed 'Umrah for myself this year in Ramadan? And is it valid for me to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my mother after performing the obligatory Hajj, or before performing the obligatory Hajj? Please inform us, may Allah reward you?
Answer: Yes, there is nothing wrong with that; rather, you will be rewarded. It is prescribed for you to do good to your mother by performing 'Umrah before Hajj or after it. If you are in Makkah, you must enter the state of ihram from al-Hal, meaning outside Makkah, outside the sacred precinct, from the mosques of 'Aishah at al-Tan'eem, or from al-Ja'ranah, or from other places in al-Hal, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when she wanted to perform 'Umrah after Hajj to enter the state of ihram from al-Hal at al-Tan'eem. This is the Sunnah for anyone who is in Makkah and wants to perform 'Umrah for himself or for someone else: he goes out to al-Hal, then declares his intention for 'Umrah there, then enters and performs tawaf, seven circuits around the House, and prays two rak'ahs behind the Maqam, or in any part of the mosque, then performs sa'y, seven circuits between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then shortens his hair. This is 'Umrah, and you will be rewarded for it. Yes.
