Concept of Hajj-e-Badal in Islam
Haj-e-Badal means that if a person is financially stable enough but not in a healthy state physically or mentally, then that person sends another person on his behalf to perform the obligation of Hajj through his money. Also, some people mention in their will that if they die, then one of their relative perform hajj on their behalf with their left money. Many questions has aroused on the issue of hajj-e-Badal and various scholars give different answer to the question. These days it has become a fashion to perform the hajj more than once even if the person on whose behalf you are about to perform hajj has not given any statement in his will. But still people continue to perform hajj each year in the name of their relatives because they have enough money to do so.
