In the Name of Allāh, the Entirely Gracious, the Exclusively Merciful

📩 Question:

The questioner says: what is the ruling of performing ‘Umrah for the deceased?

📝 The answer:

It is permissible to perform ‘Umrah or Hajj for the deceased regardless of it being obligatory or recommended. And the Prophet (ﷺ) said to a man who asked him regarding this:
(حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ)
“Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah for your father”

And with regards to the actions of Hajj and ‘Umrah, then it is permissible to authorize someone to do it on your behalf. And any actions which such authorization is legislated for, can be done for the deceased.

And it has also come with regards to fasting on behalf of the deceased in that which is obligatory only, and as for the supererogatory fasts then nothing has come. So it is permissible to fast on behalf of the deceased that which was obligatory upon them.
(مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صَوْمٌ صَامَ عَنْهُ وليه)
“If anyone dies when some fasts due from him had been unfulfilled, his heir must fast on his behalf.”
As for that which is supererogatory, then it should not be fasted on behalf of the deceased.

And likewise the prayer. One should not pray and then gift the rewards to the deceased. And similar to this is the recitation of the Qur’an or the Dhikr of Allah.

That which there has come evidence for is the obligatory fasts, Hajj and ‘Umrah, charity, Du’aa, and likewise oaths. The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about the one who passes away and there remains an oath upon him, so he said:
(اللهُ أحقُ بالقَضَاء)
“Allah is most deserving of being paid”

📩 Question:

The questioner asks: What is the meaning of Hajj Mabroor?

📝 The answer:

The Prophet ﷺ said:
(الْحَجُّ الْمَبْرُورُ لَيْسَ لَهُ جَزَاءٌ إِلاَّ الْجَنَّةُ)
“al-Hajj al-Mabrur brings no reward less than Paradise.”
Agreed upon on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه).

And ‘Mabroor’ is when there is no sin involved, no sexual intercourse and everything that leads to it, no major sins, no minor sins, no blameworthy argumentation upon falsehood, and that the Hajj isn’t funded from Haram wealth.
