Is it permissible for one who has performed 'Umrah to enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'im to perform a second 'Umrah?

Question:
After this, a message reached us from Jordan, sent by the listener Salih 'Awad. His brother Salih asks and says: If a person performs 'Umrah from Jordan, is it permissible for him, after performing 'Umrah, to perform a second and third 'Umrah after entering the state of ihram from al-Tan'im? So that he is like a resident of Makkah or al-Masrah? What are the conditions that must be met if he is able to perform 'Umrah as a visitor from Jordan, or any country outside the Kingdom? And is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of another person, a father or a mother? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.

Answer:
It is prescribed that the one coming to Makkah from outside performs 'Umrah upon his arrival in Makkah, whether from outside the miqat boundaries or from within the miqat boundaries, and from beyond the Haram, meaning that he performs 'Umrah.
As for if he is in Makkah and has performed 'Umrah and stays in Makkah for worship or for some work, it is better that he does not go out to the Hara, to al-Tan'im, and bring a second and third 'Umrah. This is contrary to what is best; some scholars do not permit it either. Because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not go out and bring an 'Umrah; they would come from Makkah and bring an 'Umrah. This did not happen except with 'A'ishah when she insisted upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that she should perform an 'Umrah after Hajj. He ordered her brother, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, to take her out to al-Tan'im, so she came with an 'Umrah. And this was in the specific case of 'A'ishah; because menstruation overtook her before she could perform the 'Umrah for which she had come, so she combined Hajj with 'Umrah, and she became a qarinah. Her tawaf and sa'y sufficed for her Hajj and her 'Umrah. But she looked at the Companions and saw that they had come with 'Umrah and Hajj, so she regretted that she had not done so. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to her that her 'Umrah had been included in her Hajj, but she was not content with that. So at that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her brother to have her perform 'Umrah from al-Tan'im, to please her. And this did not happen for any of the other Companions. So it is better that the one who is in Makkah should occupy himself with the worship of Allah. One prayer is better than one hundred thousand prayers. And he should strive in worship, the remembrance of Allah, and recitation. Is there anything better for him than going out to bring an 'Umrah from al-Tan'im? May Allah reward you with good and may He do you well.
