Question

Can I perform Umrah on behalf of someone or multiple people (whether it is for the deceased or living) in one trip?

Answer

We understand from your query that in one trip you will be making several Nafl Umrahs, each time on behalf of different individuals, whether living or deceased. There is no issue with doing so.
