Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, on 'Umrah in Ramadan?
Answer:
It is good and fine; 'Umrah in Ramadan is fine. However, if there is a deed better than it, such as being the imam of a mosque and leading the people in prayer, that is better than 'Umrah. Or, for example, raising his children, staying with them, and protecting them from going astray; that is better than 'Umrah. Or performing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), reviving the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) by performing i'tikaf in the mosque; that is better than 'Umrah. Yes, there are many deeds better than 'Umrah. May Allah the Exalted... and may Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
