What is Badal Umrah — and who is it for?

Badal Umrah — Umrah by proxy — is the act of performing the Umrah pilgrimage on behalf of another Muslim who is genuinely unable to perform it themselves: the deceased, the elderly, or the permanently ill.

The Islamic basis

A man asked the Prophet ﷺ about his elderly father who could not perform Hajj or Umrah, nor travel. The Prophet ﷺ replied: “Perform Hajj on behalf of your father and perform Umrah.” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa'i)
