The rules for proxy عمرہ follow the same principles as proxy حج, with the procedures adapted to the عمرہ rites. The proxy must meet the same conditions: they must be Muslim, sane, mature, and should have completed their own عمرہ (for those who hold عمرہ to be واجب). The person on whose behalf عمرہ is performed must be either deceased or permanently unable to perform عمرہ.
Sheikh Ibn Baz outlined the procedure as follows: The proxy travels to the miqat and enters احرام with the intention specifically for the person they are representing, saying: 'Labbayk Allahumma bi-عمرہ on behalf of [name].' They then proceed to مکہ مکرمہ, perform طواف around the کعبۃ اللہ (seven circuits), pray two rak'ahs behind مقام ابراہیم, perform سعی 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 عمرہ.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen added several important practical points: The proxy should be in a state of purity for طواف. If the proxy makes a mistake or commits a violation during the عمرہ, they bear the consequence themselves — such as paying a fidyah — and it does not affect the validity of the عمرہ for the person they represent. The proxy may make personal دعائیں during the عمرہ, as this does not conflict with the intention for the represented person. The proxy earns reward for their service, while the عمرہ reward goes to the represented person.
