My mother insists going for Umrah.

Question

My mother insists going for Umrah. Although I have explained that according to the Ulama it is not permissible for women to go for Nafl Umrah in these times of fitnah, she is obstinate in her demand. What should I do?

Answer

Without being disrespectful to her, politely and affectionately do not submit to your mother's demand for Umrah. Too many sins are committed along the route to Umrah, especially by women. There is an almost total breakdown of Hijaab from the moment they leave the home. In fact, in the Haramain Shareefain due to the evil regime's control, there is total violation of Hijaab. It is not permissible to obey this instruction and desire of your mother. It is haraam to engage in a Nafl act when haraam will be committed in the process. Placate her in other ways.
