Performing Umrah On Someone Else’s Behalf

Q. ” If I go for Umrah from here, (i.e. from Dammam), am I required to first offer Umra on my own behalf and then perform another Umrah on behalf of someone else, by going back to Meekat and wearing Ihram? Or is it not necessary that when I enter the Hudood-e-Haram I should first perform Umrah on my own behalf?”

A. This question is based on either of the two misconceptions generally found in the minds of the people who are not familiar with the Islamic precepts about Umrah.

The 2nd Kind of Jinayat Pertaining To Wajibat of Hajj

Proceeding Beyond Miqat Without Ihram
Rule Of Action
Suppose an adult and sensible inhabitant of outside Miqat intends to enter Makkah. It matters naugt whether his intention to enter Makkah is for the purpose of Hajj or Umra or for some other purpose. If he moves forward beyond Miqat towards Makkah without wearing Ihram he will stand sinful and it will be Wajib for him to go back to Miqat. If he did not return to Miqat and wore Ihram at a place beyond it, a Dam would be obligatory as Wajib on him and if he wore Ihram on returning to Miqat, theDam would be eliminated.

It may be a Wajib Tawaf or ‘Sunnat’ or ‘Nafl’. But the Tawaf wherein you have to observe Sa’i between Safa and Marwah requires you to perform two more practices :-

The First Thing Tawaf

One who enters Mecca from outside, with any intention whatsoever, since it is obligatory for him not to cross the Miqat without Ihram, therefore, one who comes here will have to enter the state of Ihram either for any of the kinds of Hajj or for Umra and then he will reach Mecca. In any case, the first thing for him, after getting himself relieved of the arrangement of his luggage, is so enter Masjid-e-Haram and perform Tawaf. But the nature of Tawaf will, of course, differ in each case. It will be the Tawaf of Umra for one who performs Hajj-e-Tamattu; for Mufrid it will be Tawaf-e-Qudom, which is Sunnst and not Wajib. One who enters the Ihram of Qiran, he will first perform Tawaf of Umra and Sa’i. Then he will perform Tawaf-e-Qudom for Hajj.
