The first question of Fatwa number ( 19307 )


Q1: Is it true that the people of Makkahthe people of Makkahal-Mukarramah do not have 'Umrah? And that the 'Umrah ofthe people of Makkahis the tawafaround the Ka'bahand that they do not have ihram, and where isthe miqatof the people of Makkahwith regard to 'Umrah ؟
A1: The 'Umrah is obligatory for every Muslim once in a lifetime, just as Hajj is, for the people of Makkah and others, due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
. And due to the hadith of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
O Messenger of Allah: Is there any jihad for women? He said: Yes, they have a jihad in which there is no fighting: Hajj and 'Umrah.يا رسول الله: هل على النساء من جهاد؟ قال: نعم عليهن جهاد لا قتال فيه الحج والعمرة
It was narrated by Ahmad in (al-Musnad) and by Ibn Majah in (his Sunan) with a sound chain of narration. And due to what is established in the hadith of 'Umar from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his answer to Jibril when he asked him about Islam:
Al-Islam implies that you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and you establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of Ramadanالإسلام أن تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله وتقيم الصلاة وتؤتي الزكاة وتحج البيت وتعتمر وتغتسل من الجنابة وتتم الوضوء وتصوم رمضان
Sahih Muslim 8a
It was narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah and al-Daraqutni , and al-Daraqutni said: This is a sound, authentic chain of narration. And if that is established for women, then it is obligatory for men a fortiori. And by that, it is known that the 'Umrah is obligatory for every
person of legal capacity, male or female, once in a lifetime, just as Hajj is, if he has the means to do so. Therefore, it is obligatory for the people of Makkah to perform the 'Umrah once in a lifetime, just as others do, and they enter into ihram for it from the nearest point of al-Hal, meaning from outside the boundaries of the Haram . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
