Hajj and umrah on behalf of others
Can a person performing badal hajj do it on behalf of more than one person in a single hajj?
Answer in brief
Performing badal hajj for several people at once in a single hajj is not valid, because one hajj performance suffices for only one person. A person may perform badal for one individual only in a given year. The performer acts as an agent who must fulfil the task entrusted to him, and someone already engaged in one contract may not take on another at the same time. Badal is in principle permissible once the performer has completed his own hajj and met the conditions for badal.

Hukum mengerjakan badal haji bagi beberapa individu di dalam satu masa adalah tidak sah kerana badal haji hanya mencukupi untuk satu orang sahaja.
