Question:
This is a question that has come up repeatedly, which is repeating 'Umrah. Repeating 'Umrah.
Answer:
We say that repeating 'Umrah is permissible, but for the one in Makkah, it is better for him to remain in al-Masjid al-Haram for worship and not go out for a second 'Umrah, because remaining in al-Masjid al-Haram is better than going out for a second 'Umrah. If he wants the reward, he should remain in al-Masjid al-Haram.
One prayer is worth a hundred thousand prayers. He remains in al-Masjid al-Haram for tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), prayer, recitation of the Qur'an, and i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque).
This is better than 'Umrah. You have come with 'Umrah. Praise be to Allah. The first thing you did when you arrived was perform 'Umrah. This is sufficient.
And you remain in al-Masjid al-Haram. And if you come a second time and want to perform 'Umrah for your mother or your father, if you come a second time, make it on behalf of the one you wish, yes, this is the best. I am not saying it is not permissible; it is permissible, but the best is for him to remain in al-Masjid al-Haram.
