I want to perform Umrah, but my wife doesn't pray. Is this Umrah valid?

One who abandons prayer is an unbeliever, and their ' and all other acts of worship are not valid. You must command your wife to pray. If she persists in abandoning it, it is not permissible for you to remain married to her, due to the Almighty's saying: "And do not hold on to the bonds of disbelieving women." As for your 'Umrah, it is valid.
