Umrah badal (by proxy)

Yes, Alhamdulillah. Offering a wheelchair in Makkah is a fully Sharia-compliant Sadaqa Jariya (ongoing charity) and highly virtuous in Islam.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"When a human being dies, their deeds come to an end, except for three things: Sadaqa Jariya, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for them."
(Sahih Muslim)

By donating a wheelchair:

• You help pilgrims with mobility issues perform acts of worship in the holiest place in Islam, which brings immense barakah (blessings) and hasanat (good deeds).
• You support a student of Islamic knowledge (Talib al-ilm) who carries out the service. Part of your contribution helps them pursue their studies and spread knowledge.
• Every time the wheelchair is used by someone in need, hasanat are recorded for the beneficiary of the sadaqa. It is an ongoing action that brings continuous rewards as long as the wheelchair is in use. 🌟

Your contribution is distributed in a transparent manner to maximize its impact and support several noble causes:

• Purchasing the wheelchair in Makkah:
  A significant portion of your donation is used to purchase a high-quality wheelchair directly in Makkah. This wheelchair is then handed over to someone in need at the Haram.
• Supporting a student of Islamic studies (Talib al-ilm):
  Part of your contribution goes to the student who performs the service on-site. This helps cover their essential needs while they continue their quest for knowledge, contributing to the spread of Islamic knowledge.
• Service costs:
  A small portion covers the operational costs necessary to provide a high-quality service to Muslims worldwide. This includes logistics, on-the-ground coordination, and the creation of distribution proof (videos and photos).

This ensures your sadaqa has a deep impact by aiding those with mobility issues, supporting Islamic education, and guaranteeing service quality and transparency.

Absolutely. We are committed to providing you with personalized and tangible proof of your sadaqa.
