Quick answer: can I book Badal Umrah from the UK?
Yes. You order online from anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and give the full name and niyyah of the person. A scholar who lives in Makkah then enters ihram and performs the full Umrah for them. You do not need a visa, flights or any time off work.
What is Badal Umrah?
Badal Umrah, also called proxy Umrah or Umrah on behalf of someone else, is an Umrah performed by one Muslim for another who cannot perform it. Badal means substitute. Many British families arrange it for a parent, grandparent or relative who has passed away, or for someone too elderly or unwell to make the journey.
The performer enters ihram, makes the niyyah (intention) in the other person's name, and completes every rite of Umrah for them. The family then asks Allah to accept it. Because the worship takes place in Makkah, Muslims in the UK can arrange it online from home, whether they live in London, Birmingham or a small town far from any airport.

You can join a live video call during the Umrah. Within 72 hours you also receive the HD video and a digital certificate by email.
Makkah is 3 hours ahead of the UK in winter (GMT) and 2 hours ahead in summer (BST). That makes a live call easy: an evening in the UK is late evening or night in Makkah. Message us on WhatsApp to arrange a time that suits you.
Is Badal Umrah permissible in Islam?
Yes, scholars permit it when the conditions are met. The evidence comes from authentic narrations about proxy worship.
Sunan Abi Dawud 1810: Abu Razin asked the Prophet ﷺ about his very old father, who could not perform Hajj or Umrah. The Prophet ﷺ told him to perform Hajj and Umrah on his father's behalf. Read the narration on Sunnah.com.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1852: A woman asked whether she could perform Hajj for her deceased mother, and the Prophet ﷺ told her to do so. This narration is about Hajj, and scholars use it as supporting evidence for proxy worship in general. Read the narration on Sunnah.com.
For detailed rulings, see IslamQA's English fatwa library on Hajj and Umrah and SeekersGuidance's scholar-answered Q&A. For your own case, ask a trusted scholar or your local imam, or browse our Islamic FAQ page.
What the four schools say
Many British Muslims follow the Hanafi school, and others follow the Shafi'i, Hanbali or Maliki schools, so here is the general position of each.
| Madhab | General position on proxy Umrah | Key notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hanafi | Permitted | For a person unable to go, or who has passed away, with the correct niyyah. |
| Shafi'i | Permitted | The proxy must have performed his own Umrah first. |
| Hanbali | Permitted | The proxy must have performed his own Umrah first. |
| Maliki | More restrictive | Prefers that each person performs their own. Allows more room where it is tied to a bequest (wasiyyah). |
General summary only, not a personal fatwa. Opinions vary by case.
Who can you book Badal Umrah for?

How we make sure your Umrah is valid

- Video, not just a certificate. You see the actual Tawaf and Sa'i on HD video.
- Re-performance guarantee. If the video does not clearly show a complete Umrah, tell us within 48 hours. We will review it and re-perform where needed at no cost.

How to choose a trustworthy Badal Umrah service in the UK
This is a religious trust, not just a purchase. Before you pay any provider, including us, ask these questions:
- Who actually performs the Umrah? Look for scholars who live in Makkah, not unnamed one-time workers.
- Do I get video, or only a certificate? A certificate alone proves nothing. Ask for video of Tawaf and Sa'i.
- Has the performer done his own Umrah first? This is a condition in the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools.
- Is the full price shown up front? There should be no surprise fees at checkout.
- What happens if the proof is unclear? A written re-performance or refund policy should exist.
- Can I verify the company? Look for a registration certificate, a named owner and real reviews.
- Can I reach a human? You should be able to message the team before and after you book, at a time that works with UK hours.

What to do after your Badal Umrah is complete
Once the Umrah is done, nothing further is required from you. The scholar has fulfilled the rites on your loved one's behalf, so you can keep the video and certificate as a lasting record.
Many families continue to make dua for their loved one and give sadaqah in their name, which scholars encourage for the deceased. Some also add ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah). If you have a question about your situation, ask a trusted scholar or visit our Islamic FAQ page.
Badal Umrah from UK: frequently asked questions
How much does Badal Umrah from the UK cost?
Badal Umrah from the UK costs $199, which is about £150 at recent exchange rates. That price covers the complete Umrah performed by a certified scholar in Makkah, HD video proof, and a digital certificate delivered within 72 hours. You pay by card through secure Stripe checkout. The checkout price is in US dollars, so your bank converts it and the final amount in pounds can vary slightly. There are no hidden fees from us, and you do not need to pay for flights, visas or hotels because everything is done for you in Makkah.
Can I book Badal Umrah from the UK for my deceased mother or father?
Yes. Arranging Umrah for a deceased parent is the most common reason families book. The scholar enters ihram, makes the niyyah in your mother's or father's full name, and completes every rite of Umrah on their behalf. You then receive the video and certificate. Scholars generally permit this for a deceased Muslim, and the evidence is covered above. If your family situation raises a specific question, ask a trusted scholar or your local imam before you book.
Is Badal Umrah permissible in Islam?
Scholars generally permit Badal Umrah when the conditions are met. The main evidence is Sunan Abi Dawud 1810, where the Prophet ﷺ told Abu Razin to perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of his very old father, and Sahih al-Bukhari 1852 about Hajj for a deceased mother. For a living person, scholars generally require that they cannot perform Umrah themselves. The four schools differ on details, so read our table and ask a scholar about your case.
How do I know the Umrah was really performed?
You receive HD video of the Tawaf and Sa'i at Masjid al-Haram and a digital certificate within 72 hours of the performance. You can also ask to join a live video call while the Umrah is being performed. Our scholars live in Makkah, and you can see real completed orders on our work proof page. If the video does not clearly show a full Umrah, tell us within 48 hours and we will review it.
Does the person performing Badal Umrah need to have done their own Umrah?
Yes. Scholars of the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools require the proxy to have performed his own Umrah first. This follows the narration of Shubrumah in Sunan Abi Dawud 1811, which scholars apply to Umrah as well. All of our scholars have completed their own Umrah and Hajj before performing for anyone else, so you do not need to check this yourself, but you are welcome to ask us about it.
What does the scholar say and do during Badal Umrah?
The scholar enters ihram at the Miqat and makes the niyyah for the named person. He then performs Tawaf, seven circuits of the Kaaba, and prays two rak'ahs at Maqam Ibrahim. Next he performs Sa'i, walking seven times between Safa and Marwa, and finishes with halq or taqsir, which means shaving or trimming the hair. He makes dua for the person by name throughout, so nothing is shortened.
Do I need a visa or to travel to Saudi Arabia?
No. You book online from the UK and the scholar completes everything in Makkah. You do not need a visa, flights, hotels or any travel arrangements, and you do not need to take time off work. All you provide is the full name of the person, your niyyah, and your payment details.
What is the time difference, and can I watch the Umrah live from the UK?
Makkah is 3 hours ahead of the UK in winter (GMT) and 2 hours ahead in summer (BST). If you would like to follow the Umrah live, tell us when you book and message us on WhatsApp. We will agree a video call at a time that suits you, and an evening in the UK usually works well.
Can I arrange Umrah for more than one person?
Yes. One Umrah is performed for one person, so place a separate order for each name. This keeps the niyyah clear and gives each person their own video and certificate. If you are booking for several family members, for example both parents or grandparents, message us on WhatsApp and we will help you arrange the orders together so nothing is missed.
How long does it take to receive the proof?
You receive the HD video and digital certificate within 72 hours of the Umrah being performed. If you want to watch it live, tell us when you book and we will agree a time. We send your files to the email address you used at checkout, so please check your junk folder if nothing arrives.
What if I am not happy with the video?
Contact us within 48 hours of receiving it by WhatsApp or email. We will review the footage with you, and if it does not clearly show a complete Umrah, we will arrange for it to be performed again at no extra cost. This guarantee exists because families should have full peace of mind, not just a transaction. You can also read our refund policy for the details.
