Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you. In the hadith, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajjعمرة في رمضان تعدل حجة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 939Sahih (Darussalam)
. Does 'Umrah in Ramadan suffice in place of Hajj?

Answer:
No, it does not suffice in place of Hajj, but it has merit. However, its merit is like the reward of Hajj. As for it replacing Hajj, no. Hajj is an independent act of worship, and fasting Ramadan and standing in night prayer are another independent act of worship. Yes.
