Yes, there is hadith evidence for performing Umrah on behalf of a person who is unable to perform it because of advanced age. In Sunan Abi Dawud 1810, Abu Razin asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about his very old father who was unable to perform Hajj or Umrah himself, and the Prophet ﷺ instructed him to perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of his father.
However, eligibility can depend on the person’s circumstances and the nature of their inability. A temporary illness is not necessarily the same as permanent or long-term inability. For a personal Islamic ruling, families should consult a qualified Islamic scholar.
Badal Umrah for a Sick or Elderly Parent
Arranging Umrah for an elderly or seriously ill parent can be a meaningful way to support someone who wishes to fulfil this act of worship but is unable to travel or complete the physical requirements themselves.
If your mother or father is elderly, physically unable to travel, or affected by a qualifying long-term illness, you may wish to explore whether Umrah on their behalf is applicable to their situation.
Our service is designed to help families arrange the request from outside Saudi Arabia while the religious act is performed in Makkah.
Badal Umrah for an Elderly Mother
If your elderly mother is unable to travel to Makkah or perform Umrah herself, you can contact our team to discuss arranging Badal Umrah for your mother.
We can guide you through the booking information required, including the name of the person on whose behalf the Umrah is being arranged, and help you understand the next steps.
Badal Umrah for an Elderly Father
If your elderly father cannot reasonably perform Umrah because of age or physical inability, you may wish to arrange Badal Umrah for your father.
The well-known narration in Sunan Abi Dawud 1810 specifically describes a man whose father was very old and unable to perform Hajj and Umrah, and the Prophet ﷺ instructed him to perform them on behalf of his father.
Islamic Evidence for Umrah on Behalf of an Elderly Person
The most directly relevant evidence for this service is Sunan Abi Dawud 1810.
Abu Razin described his father as very old and unable to perform Hajj and Umrah himself. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed him to perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of his father.
This hadith provides direct evidence concerning Umrah on behalf of a person who is unable because of advanced age.
Another relevant narration appears in Sunan Abi Dawud 1809, where a woman asked about performing Hajj on behalf of her elderly father who could not sit securely on a riding animal, and the Prophet ﷺ permitted it.
The Qur’an also teaches believers to pray for those who preceded them in faith. In Surah Al-Hashr 59:10, believers are described as praying: “Our Lord, forgive us and our fellow believers who preceded us in faith.” This verse is relevant to the broader Islamic principle of remembering and praying for fellow believers, but it should not be presented as a direct Qur’anic ruling specifically establishing Badal Umrah.
Islamic rulings concerning proxy worship can involve conditions and differences of scholarly interpretation. Therefore, families should consider their specific circumstances and seek qualified scholarly guidance where necessary.
Who May Need Badal Umrah Because of Illness or Old Age?
Badal Umrah may be relevant to a person who cannot perform Umrah themselves because of circumstances such as significant physical incapacity or advanced age.
Examples may include:
- An elderly parent who is physically unable to travel
- An elderly mother who cannot manage the physical demands of Umrah
- An elderly father who cannot safely travel or complete the rites
- A person with a long-term condition that prevents them from performing Umrah
- A person whose physical condition makes travelling to Makkah impractical
- A person who is permanently or substantially unable to undertake the journey
The exact Islamic ruling depends on the circumstances. In particular, families should distinguish between temporary sickness and a condition that results in continuing inability to perform Umrah.
If the person may reasonably recover and perform Umrah themselves later, the applicable ruling may be different. For this reason, a qualified Islamic scholar should be consulted when there is uncertainty.
