Assalam Alaikum, Sir we (father, mother, grand mother, me and wife) were going to perform Umrah on 20 Jan 2020 to 09 Feb 2020. On 8th January 2020 my father passed away baqaza Ilahi (No any health conditions & illness). Every thing was confirmed and ready. We belong to a middle class family (cannot bear the loss of visa fee of 30 thznd per person). I was going to perform this umrah only for my father and mother. Now can my mother come with me or not (Iddah).



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

A woman is not allowed to go for Hajj during her Iddah. So your mother cannot accompany you even in Umrah, she must complete her Iddah period at home for four months and ten days, thereafter she could leave the house.
