Validity of a Girl's Umrah Without Father's Permission

Question

A girl performed Umrah but did not obtain her father's permission; she only got permission from her mother. What is the validity of her Umrah?

Answer 1

It is important to note that the permission of the father is necessary for a girl to perform Umrah, as he is her guardian.

However, if she has obtained permission from her mother, it is still advisable to seek the father's consent.

In conclusion, while her Umrah may be valid, it is recommended to ensure that the father is informed and agrees.
