Can You Perform Umrah for Someone Who Passed Away? | Umrah Guide 2026
• Many scholars permit performing Umrah on behalf of a deceased Muslim.
• This ruling is based on Islamic evidence regarding performing Hajj on behalf of others.
• You can perform Umrah for a deceased parent, spouse, relative, or another Muslim.
• Some scholars also permit it for someone permanently unable to perform Umrah due to old age or illness.
• Complete your own obligatory Hajj or Umrah before performing it on behalf of someone else.
• When entering Ihram, make the intention for the person you are performing Umrah for.
• You can also benefit deceased loved ones through Du’a, Sadaqah, and asking Allah for their forgiveness.
May Allah accept our ibadah and grant our loved ones Jannah. Ameen.
