The ruling on repeating 'Umrah for a resident of Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are those who repeat 'Umrah, Honorable Shaykh, whether for themselves or for their parents, men and women. What is your view on this, Shaykh?
Answer:
Repeating 'Umrah in the sense of traveling for it several times is permissible. However, repeating 'Umrah for a resident of Makkah, meaning he goes out to al-Tan'im and enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, then goes out again and enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, this is contrary to what is best, contrary to what is preferable. Rather, it is better for him to remain in the Sacred Mosque, in Makkah, in the Haram, and worship Allah through prayer, fasting, dhikr, recitation of the Qur'an, and tawaf around the House. This is better for him than going out to repeat 'Umrah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do this, and the Companions did not do it except 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when she persisted with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because she had entered the state of ihram for qiran due to menstruation and had not performed 'Umrah alone and Hajj alone as some of the Companions did. So she persisted with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform an independent 'Umrah.
He (peace and blessings be upon him) convinced her, or tried to convince her, that her 'Umrah which was with her Hajj in qiran was sufficient for her. She said, "People go with 'Umrah and Hajj, and I go with such and such." So at that point, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted her to go out with her brother 'Abd al-Rahman to al-Tan'im and enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah to please her. So it is a specific case, particular to her, as evidenced by the fact that the Companions did not do this. So remaining in the Haram, worshipping in it, and spending time in it is better than going out to the non-sacred area and performing 'Umrah. Yes.
