Is it necessary to assume ihram from Abyar Ali to perform Umrah on behalf of a deceased father after performing Umrah on one’s own behalf for a resident of Makkah? Did the righteous predecessors perform Umrah on behalf of the deceased? Is it permissible to perform another Umrah on one’s own behalf during the same journey, and what is the miqat for assuming ihram for it?

The scholars have detailed rulings on performing 'Umrah on behalf of others. The Hanafis permit it with the permission of the person on whose behalf it is performed. The Malikis disliked delegation, but if it occurred, it was valid. The Shafi'is permitted it on behalf of the deceased or the incapacitated. The Hanbalis stated that it is not permissible on behalf of a living person except with their permission, but it is permissible on behalf of the deceased without their permission.

Prophetic traditions have been narrated indicating the permissibility of Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of the deceased, such as the hadith of the woman who asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about performing Hajj on behalf of her deceased mother, and the hadith of Abu Razin Al-'Uqaili who asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about performing Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of his incapacitated father. Similarly, the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas about the man who pronounced the talbiyah for Shubrumah, whereupon the Prophet ordered him to perform Hajj for himself first, then for Shubrumah.

'Umrah and Hajj are the same in this regard.
