Is it permissible to perform Umrah on behalf of oneself, a sick parent, and deceased maternal and paternal uncles all in one trip?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Repeating during a single journey is disliked (makrooh), but there is no harm in repeating it for the woman coming from Egypt who vowed to perform Umrah on behalf of her parents and relatives, due to the difficulty of repeating the journey to Mecca. Vowing is disliked (makrooh) and brings no good, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It does not repel anything, but rather it is used to extract (money) from the miser." Nevertheless, vows of obedience must be fulfilled, based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him."
