Question
Can one living here in saudi Arabia do Umrah by the name of any person living in home country. A) If the person is capable of coming herevin the future. B) If teh person cannot come here for any reasons like economy or health?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
It is not correct to do ‘Umrah on behalf of one who is
physically able to do it himself (if he comes there himself).
With regard to one who is not able to do it for financial
reasons, such a person is not obliged to do Hajj or ‘Umrah. Rather it
is correct to do Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of one who is physically
unable to do them, and on behalf of the deceased. And Allaah knows best.
