Umrah Badal Service - Perform on Behalf of Someone Else - Proxy Umrah

What is Umrah Badal?

Umrah Badal refers to the act of performing Umrah on behalf of someone else.

If a person is unable to perform the pilgrimage of Umrah, either due to illness, old age, or passing away, then another person, in an act of compassion, can perform Umrah on their behalf.

This concept allows individuals who are unable to perform Umrah to fulfil this performance.

Other individuals can substitute them to fulfil this act.

As a result, the person who physically couldn't partake in the journey will still receive the blessings and spiritual rewards that are associated with Umrah by the will of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى.

What does the word Badal mean?

The term "Badal" in Arabic means substitution or in lieu of. Umrah Badal is Umrah's substitutionary performance.

It is done by a person in lieu of someone else who is unable to perform Umrah themselves.
