Summary
Performing proxy Hajj for several people at the same time is invalid, because one proxy Hajj suffices for only one person. A person may perform proxy Hajj for only one individual in a given year. The proxy acts as an agent who must fulfil what was entrusted to him, in line with the maxim that what is already occupied cannot be occupied with something else. Proxy Hajj is in principle permissible once the performer has completed Hajj for himself and met the conditions for proxy Hajj.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mengerjakan badal haji bagi beberapa individu di dalam satu masa adalah tidak sah kerana badal haji hanya mencukupi untuk satu orang sahaja.
