Question 1

Is Umrah on behalf of a deceased parent permissible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is established in the Sunnah — the Prophet ﷺ instructed a man to perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of his father, and the scholars apply the same to the mother.

Question 2

Do I need anyone's permission?

Accepted Answer

For a deceased parent, no permission is required. You may arrange the Umrah for them directly.

Question 3

Can I do this for someone other than my parents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can offer the Umrah for any deceased Muslim — a relative, a friend, a colleague, or even someone you never knew, such as a martyr. It becomes a gift and an ongoing charity in their name.

Question 4

Who actually performs the Umrah?

Accepted Answer

A trustworthy student of knowledge in Makkah who has already completed his own Umrah, performing it in their name under direct shariah supervision.

Question 5

When will the Umrah be performed?

Accepted Answer

The date is set according to the substitutes' availability, and we notify you of it once your payment is complete.

Question 6

How do I know it was truly done?

Accepted Answer

You receive a video in which the intention is pronounced clearly in their name — within days.

Question 7

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

Securely by card (Visa/Mastercard) on the site. One flat price of $199, no hidden fees.

Question 8

How do I know an Umrah Badal service is trustworthy?

Accepted Answer

Ask one question: who performs it, and will you see proof? With Wafa Hajj, a named, known student of knowledge in Makkah performs it — never an anonymous stand-in — and you receive a video in which the intention is pronounced in your loved one's name, plus a certificate. Nothing is hidden.

Question 9

What is the best service to perform Umrah for a deceased person?

Accepted Answer

Judge any service by three things: a known performer (not outsourced to a cheaper substitute), real video proof in the deceased's name, and a clear flat price. Wafa Hajj was built on exactly these — $199, fully documented, performed from within Makkah all year.

Question 10

How do I get proof the Umrah was actually performed?

Accepted Answer

You receive an HD video in which your loved one's name is spoken aloud as the intention, along with a digital certificate of completion — usually within days, sent to you directly.

Question 11

Do I receive a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a personalized digital certificate naming the person the Umrah was performed for, alongside the video proof.

Question 12

Is Hajj Badal also available, and how much?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hajj Badal (the pilgrimage on behalf of a deceased person) is $1,990, all-inclusive and fully documented. Umrah Badal is $199 and available all year round.

Question 13

Can a dua be made at the Kaaba in my loved one's name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The intention is pronounced in their name, and dua is made for them during the rites — captured in the video you receive.
