What is the ruling on repeating 'Umrah in a single visit?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it possible for me to perform two 'Umrahs in a period not exceeding three days? And if I have already shaved my head with a razor, what do I do for the second one?
Answer:
We have answered this before. We said that it is better for one who is in Makkah, whether he is from its people or a resident there, that it is better for him to remain in al-Masjid al-Haram for worship and not go out for 'Umrah. If he goes out, it is permissible for him to do so, but he has wasted many virtues and many good things that are better for him than going out for 'Umrah. As for shaving the head, it is necessary for 'Umrah because shaving the head is one of the rites of 'Umrah. If he has hair, he shaves it; otherwise, he runs the razor over his head. He runs the razor over his head, meaning if there is hair, he removes it. This indicates that it is not recommended to repeat 'Umrah in a close time frame. If it is absolutely necessary, he should wait until hair grows on his head that he can shave. As for repeating 'Umrah while his head is shaved and he finds nothing to shave, this indicates that his remaining in Makkah and worshipping in al-Masjid al-Haram is far, far better for him than this matter. Yes.
