Umrah Accessibility Guide
Rulings
Scholars allow Tawaf and Sa'i in a wheelchair or while being carried for someone who cannot walk, and many accept pushing by another person. Ask a scholar for special cases.
Practical
- Official wheelchair services and designated lanes exist at the Haram; availability and rules change, so ask your provider or the official channels. Avoid unofficial offers.
- Bring a doctor's letter and medicines; plan rest breaks.
- Choose accommodation close to the Haram with lifts.
- Travel with a companion who knows your needs, and consider quieter times.
