Fatwa #67138 October 2002India

Can i perform Umrah behalf of my mother, as i'm working Saudi and my mother is in India. My mother is very old and also i can not afford to bring her.

Answer

In principle, it is not permissible to carry out an action on behalf of another person if such an action require selfsacrifice coupled with monetary expenditure, like Hajj, etc.

However, we suggest you perform Umrah. Thereafter, convey the Thawaab (reward) to your elderly mother. (Shaami vol.2 pg.599; HM Saeed)
