Importance Of The Hajj E Badal

Hajj is obligatory for every Muslim but what should one do if he is not in a state to perform Hajj? There is always a way out. If you are unable to perform Hajj, you can ask someone else to perform it on your behalf. This is known as 'Hajj e Badal'.

Hajj e Badal is the Hajj done on behalf of a physically unfit person or someone who has already passed away.

Only Hajj e Qiran or Hajj e Ifrad can be performed by the Mahmoor. Hajj e Tamattu is not recommended. Hajj e Tamattu is only advisable, if the heirs are performing Hajj e Badal for their deceased parents.

• The Qurbani (animal sacrifice) has to be done at the expense of the Mahmoor and not the Aamir.

• A person who has not performed Hajj himself can go for Hajj e Badal.

• The Mahmoor is not allowed to perform Hajj for himself when he is performing Hajj e Badal for someone else.

• It is a must that the Mahmoor performs Hajj e Badal with full dedication, since the Hajj for the Aamir will not be accepted if there are discrepancies.
