Umrah Badal: The Complete Guide to Delegate Umrah Services (2026)

Introduction: Understanding Umrah Badal

Umrah Badal (عمرة بدل), or Delegate Umrah, is the Islamic practice of having someone perform Umrah on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves. This sacred service provides spiritual comfort to families when a loved one cannot perform Umrah due to death, chronic illness, or extreme old age.

At Visitalmadinah.com, we believe in combining religious devotion with complete transparency. This guide will help you understand every aspect of Umrah Badal while emphasizing the importance of verification and trust in this sensitive religious service.

Is Umrah Badal Permissible in Islam?

Yes, Umrah Badal is permissible in Islam based on authentic Hadith.

The permission for delegate pilgrimage is derived from the following evidence:

• Islamic Consensus: Major schools of Islamic jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali) agree that delegate pilgrimage is valid for those physically or medically unable to perform it themselves. Read more on IslamQ&A website

Important Conditions:

• The person on whose behalf Umrah is performed must be unable to do it themselves
• The delegate must be a Muslim who has already performed their own obligatory Hajj/Umrah
• Proper intention (niyyah) must be made for the specific individual

Who Needs Umrah Badal Services?

Umrah Badal is specifically for these situations:

1. For the Deceased

When someone passed away without fulfilling their intention or vow to perform Umrah, their heirs can arrange Badal Umrah on their behalf.

2. For the Chronically Ill

Individuals with permanent disabilities, terminal illnesses, or conditions that prevent travel may use this service.

3. For the Elderly

Extremely elderly people who are too frail to withstand the journey may appoint someone to perform Umrah on their behalf.

The Step-by-Step Umrah Badal Process

Step 1: Consultation and Intention (Niyyah)

Begin with sincere intention. The family should consult with Islamic scholars if needed to ensure proper understanding of the religious requirements.

Step 2: Providing Details of the Person

Submit accurate information including:

• Full name of the person (as it should be called during prayers)
• Mother’s name (for precise identification in dua)
• Specific prayers or requests

Step 3: Agreement and Payment

Choose a trustworthy service provider. Ensure clear understanding of:

• Total costs with no hidden fees
• Exactly what services are included
• Timeline for completion
• What proof will be provided

Step 4: The Act of Umrah (Performed by Trusted Delegate)

A qualified, pious Muslim performs the Umrah rituals specifically on behalf of your loved one, making dedicated prayers at sacred sites.

Step 5: Proof and Confirmation (The Most Critical Step)

This is where transparency matters most. You should receive:

• Video evidence of the delegate at key holy sites making dua specifically for your loved one by name
• Photo documentation of the entire journey
• Completion certificate with details of the service

Why Verification is Essential in Umrah Badal

“Verification is not just a service feature – it’s a religious responsibility. That’s why we offer a uniquely personal guarantee.”

Many services use unknown agents, leaving families with uncertainty. We eliminate this doubt through a foundation of personal trust.

The Personal Trust Standard: My Direct Delegate Connection

Unlike other services that use faceless contractors, the Umrah Badal services I arrange are performed by one dedicated individual I know personally and have lived with.

Here’s why this matters for your peace of mind:

• Personal Relationship: This is not a business transaction for him. He is a close associate whose piety and character I have witnessed firsthand. I have seen his dedication to sincere worship and his understanding of the significance of this responsibility.
• Lived Experience in Makkah: He resided in Makkah for over two years, giving him deep, intimate knowledge of the holy sites that a temporary visitor cannot possess. He knows the best times for devotion, the quiet spots for heartfelt dua, and approaches the entire ritual with the reverence of a local.
• Unrushed and Heartfelt Dua: Because this is his primary focus and not a rushed side task, he performs the Umrah with profound concentration. He spends significant time making sincere, specific prayers (dua) for your loved one by name at the most sacred locations, including the Kaaba, Hijr Ismail, and the hills of Safa and Marwah.

This personal guarantee means you are not hiring a service; you are entrusting a sacred duty to a known, verified, and dedicated individual. The evidence we provide isn’t just documentation—it’s a window into a genuine act of devotion performed on your behalf.

Can women perform Umrah Badal for men?

Yes, women can perform Umrah Badal for male relatives, and vice versa, as long as proper Islamic guidelines are followed during the pilgrimage.

An Exclusive Service Built on Uncompromising Trust

While other services employ multiple agents to maximize volume, we have made a conscious choice to work exclusively with one, personally-vetted delegate. We could easily use many agents, but we believe the sacred nature of Umrah Badal demands more. We only trust this individual to perform the Umrah with the level of sincerity, dedication, and attention to detail that will truly satisfy you and honor your loved one. This isn’t a business of scale; it’s a commitment to quality.

Quality Over Quantity: Our Deliberate Choice

Our commitment to your peace of mind means we prioritize the how over the how many. We have deliberately chosen to limit our service to the capabilities of one tru

How It Works

A Carefully Managed Schedule for Your Peace of Mind

Because we refuse to compromise on quality by overloading our delegate, we can only accept a limited number of requests each month. This ensures that every Umrah Badal is performed with the time and reverence it deserves. When you book with us, you are not just getting a service; you are securing a reserved time for sincere devotion on behalf of your loved one.

Umrah Badal is a beautiful aspect of Islamic tradition that allows us to care for our loved ones even when they cannot perform religious duties themselves. By choosing a service that prioritizes verification and transparency, you ensure that this act of devotion brings the peace of mind it’s meant to provide.

Secure Your Delegate’s Time

To ensure each Umrah Badal receives the dedicated time and attention it deserves, our delegate accepts a limited number of requests per month. . Contact us today to secure a time and receive the peace of mind that comes with a truly personal service.
