The questioner : May Allah have bestowed His favor upon me, and I have performed the obligatory Hajj and 'Umrah, and I want to perform 'Umrah on behalf of my mother, knowing that she is still alive but is elderly and unable to do so. I have a brother who needs the amount of money I would spend on the 'Umrah. Should I perform the 'Umrah or give my brother this money?
The Shaykh : It is better that you give your brother this money, because that is part of maintaining family ties, which is obligatory. As for performing 'Umrah on behalf of your mother, if she is unable and cannot do it, then perform the 'Umrah on her behalf at another time, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O honorable Shaykh. Hasan Barik from al-Layth. The questioner says.
