عمرة البدل

The "Sufficient Umrah" app is a helpful resource for two things: understanding Umrah and understanding the meaning of performing it on behalf of another—for a deceased parent or a living person who is no longer able to travel themselves.

All the app's content is included; no account creation, subscription, or advertisements are required, and no internet connection is needed to read a single word.

What's in the app?

Three articles:

• What is Umrah? Its meaning, ruling according to the four schools of thought, its pillars, its virtues, and the designated times for entering Ihram.

• Substitute Umrah: Performing Umrah on behalf of another. The Hadith of Khath'am and the Hadith of Shubrumah, its conditions, how to form the intention and recite the Talbiyah, the ruling on receiving payment for it, and why it benefits the deceased.

• Etiquette and advice for the pilgrim: How to prepare before traveling, how to behave in the Haram, and the most common mistakes people make.

A guide to the rituals of Hajj in eight steps, arranged as they are performed: Ihram from the designated Miqat, Talbiyah, entering the Grand Mosque, Tawaf seven times, two Rak'ahs at the Station of Abraham, drinking from Zamzam water, Sa'i seven times, then shaving or trimming the hair.

Ten Hadiths on Umrah and performing it on behalf of another, with their Arabic text, translation, attribution to their source, and Hadith number.

Eleven supplications for the journey, with Arabic text, transliteration into Latin script, meaning, and source—including the Talbiyah for substitute Umrah, supplication for the deceased, and supplication for parents.

Ten questions with direct answers: Is it permissible to perform Umrah on behalf of the living? Is it a condition to perform Umrah for oneself first? Is it permissible for a woman to act as a proxy for a man? Is one Umrah sufficient for two people? Who receives the reward? From which Miqat do one enter Ihram? What should one do if one makes a mistake in the rituals?

In Arabic and English

The entire application is written in both languages; it is not machine-translated. With a single click, you can switch between them, changing the format, font, and reading direction. Your selection is saved for next time.

Content Methodology

Verses are attributed to their respective chapters and numbers, and hadiths to their books and numbers, enabling the reader to consult their sources. Hadiths not found in the two Sahih collections are listed according to their authenticity. When different schools of thought differ on a matter, the statement is attributed to its source and not presented as a single, definitive opinion.
