What is Badal Hajj (Proxy Hajj)?
Badal Hajj is an Islamic practice where someone performs the Hajj pilgrimage on behalf of another person who is unable to fulfill this obligation due to death, chronic illness, disability, or old age. It ensures the fulfillment of the fifth pillar of Islam for those unable to complete it themselves.
Who is eligible to have Hajj performed on their behalf?
Badal Hajj may be performed for:
- A deceased Muslim who never completed Hajj and left behind sufficient wealth.
- A person who is permanently and medically unable to perform Hajj.
- Someone of advanced age or chronic disability with no hope of recovery. Note: The cost must not exceed one-third of the deceased’s estate unless explicitly permitted in a will.
Who can be a proxy for Badal Hajj?
To qualify as a proxy:
- The person must have completed their own obligatory Hajj.
- They should be physically and mentally fit to undertake the journey.
- They are allowed to perform Badal Hajj only once per year on behalf of one individual.
What happens if my Badal Hajj cannot be fulfilled?
In the rare event your Badal Hajj cannot be completed due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ll provide a 100% full refund. As a gesture of goodwill, we will also arrange for a Badal Umrah to be performed on behalf of the same individual—at no additional cost. You’ll still receive a certificate and photo proof when it's completed.
Is there any compensation or alternative if Badal Hajj is not performed?
Yes. Alongside the full refund, every customer will receive a complimentary Badal Umrah as a replacement. This ensures your spiritual intention is honoured, even if the Hajj cannot go ahead.
How will I be updated on the status of my Badal Hajj?
You’ll receive regular email updates throughout the process. Once the Badal Hajj is completed, a confirmation along with a detailed report will be sent to you. If, for any reason, the Hajj cannot be performed, you’ll be notified promptly with all information about your refund and the alternative Badal Umrah arrangement.
Note: Please note that no refunds or cancellations will be allowed after 24 hours of purchase, as the fulfilment process would have commenced.
