Answer:- Umra is not obligatory, but Hajj is obligatory on every one who can afford.
If you can afford going for Hajj, then you must go this year and do not
delay fulfilling your religious duty. You are not allowed to postpone going
for Hajj just because you want to send your mother first. If your mother
can afford going for Hajj, then she must go for Hajj also. If your mother
has no personal money that she can go for Hajj, Hajj will not be obligatory
on her unless you gift her the Haj expenses.
Sending your mother for Hajj or Umra or Ziyarat is great reward and you
will get thousands of time more blessings.
You must pay Khums on all your savings, not only the amount of Umra. Khums
is 20% of all what you have.It must be paid once every year. The Khums of
48000 is 9600.
Wassalam.
