The rules for proxy উমরাহ follow the same principles as proxy হজ্জ, with the procedures adapted to the উমরাহ rites. The proxy must meet the same conditions: they must be Muslim, sane, mature, and should have completed their own উমরাহ (for those who hold উমরাহ to be ওয়াজিব). The person on whose behalf উমরাহ is performed must be either deceased or permanently unable to perform উমরাহ.
Sheikh Ibn Baz outlined the procedure as follows: The proxy travels to the miqat and enters ইহরাম with the intention specifically for the person they are representing, saying: 'Labbayk Allahumma bi-উমরাহ on behalf of [name].' They then proceed to মক্কা মুকাররমা, perform তাওয়াফ around the কাবা শরীফ (seven circuits), pray two rak'ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim, perform সাঈ between Safa and Marwa (seven laps), and then cut or shorten their hair. All of these acts are performed exactly as the proxy would for their own উমরাহ.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen added several important practical points: The proxy should be in a state of purity for তাওয়াফ. If the proxy makes a mistake or commits a violation during the উমরাহ, they bear the consequence themselves — such as paying a fidyah — and it does not affect the validity of the উমরাহ for the person they represent. The proxy may make personal দোয়াs during the উমরাহ, as this does not conflict with the intention for the represented person. The proxy earns reward for their service, while the উমরাহ reward goes to the represented person.
