Should the person who performed `Umrah and wished to perform another on behalf of the father assume Ihram from the original Miqat?

Q 4: What is the ruling on a person who, after having performed `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) for himself, performed another `Umrah on behalf of his father from the place specified for entering the state of Ihram (ceremonial state for Hajj and `Umrah) in Makkah, namely, Al-Tan`im? Is such an `Umrah valid, or must he begin the state of Ihram from the original Miqat (sites for entering the ceremonial state for Hajj and `Umrah)?


A: If you perform an `Umrah for yourself and end the state of Ihram then you wish to perform `Umrah on behalf of your deceased or handicapped father, you must go out to the Al-Hil (places outside the borders of Haram "the Sacred Mosque") (Part No. 11; Page No. 136) to a place such as Al-Tan`im to resume the state of Ihram for `Umrah from there. Thus, you do not have to travel to the Miqat.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
