What Is Hajj Badal?

Hajj Badal — also known as Badal Hajj, Hajj e Badal or Proxy Hajj — is when a qualified Muslim performs the pilgrimage of Hajj on behalf of someone who cannot perform it themselves.

It is arranged for a loved one who has passed away without performing their obligatory Hajj, who is permanently unwell with no hope of recovery, or who is too elderly to travel. Performing Hajj on behalf of another is permissible according to all four major schools of Islamic thought — the only condition is that the pilgrim has already completed their own Hajj.

Why Families Choose Haramain

Unmatched Care

We handle everything, from the preparation to the completion of the pilgrimage, with care and devotion.

Transparency

Clear, honest communication at every step, so you know exactly how your sacred duty is being fulfilled.

Global Reach

No matter where you are in the world, your spiritual obligations are in trusted hands.

Who Will Perform the Hajj?

Every Hajj Badal we accept is carried out by a qualified pilgrim who has already completed their own Hajj — chosen for their knowledge, character and sincerity. Each pilgrim is dedicated to one person only: your loved one’s name, your intention, their Hajj.

We secure and confirm our pilgrims before we accept your booking. We never oversell places we cannot fulfil — when you book, a real, authorised pilgrim is held for your intention.
