Question

I made a niyyat of taking my parents for Umrah. But before going my father died. And I decided to do Umrah on behalf of my father along with my mother. And I performed Umrah on behalf of my father first and then, I went outside the boundary of Haram to perform Umrah for myself. Is this ok?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
