Hajj and umrah on behalf of others
Can a person who has vowed to perform Hajj carry out that vow at the same time as performing Hajj on behalf of someone else (badal Hajj)?
Answer in brief
A vowed Hajj cannot be performed together with a badal Hajj for another person, because one cannot complete two Hajj pilgrimages at the same time. A person who vows to perform Hajj must do it personally if able. If he has a lasting incapacity due to old age or illness, the Hajj may be delegated with his permission. The ruling also states that anyone performing badal Hajj must first have fulfilled the obligatory Hajj for himself.
