Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you, O mother of the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.
The questioner : Did you enter the state of ihram from the miqat? In the 'Umrah of Ramadan, I entered ihram from al-Miqas, and then I went and performed the 'Umrah. I doubted about the 'Umrah, so I entered ihram again from al-Tan'im. Is it permissible from al-Tan'im?
The Shaykh : Why did you doubt about the 'Umrah?
The questioner : I.
The Shaykh : What did you say?
The questioner : I wrote that I was afflicted with waswas (whispers), meaning I don't know, meaning I felt that this 'Umrah was not...
The Shaykh : No, this is a mistake on your part. When a person performs an act of worship and finishes it, he does not doubt it.
The questioner : Yes, look. Okay.
The Shaykh : Go back to it.
The questioner : And is it permissible from al-Tan'im?
The Shaykh : Listen, listen, because doubt in worship after completing it is from Iblis. He wants to keep the person in a cycle constantly.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : For this reason, the scholars said that doubt after completing an act of worship has no effect. So if you doubted after finishing the tawaf whether you did six or seven circuits, do not pay attention to this doubt, but assume that it was seven circuits. The same is said regarding the sa'y.
The questioner : For.
The Shaykh : I say that your repeating the 'Umrah from al-Tan'im is a mistake, and there is no need for it.
The questioner : All right.
The Shaykh : Beware that Shaytan plays with your religion.
The questioner : All right.
The Shaykh : For if you open this door for yourself, you will remain in a cycle constantly.
The presenter : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh : But as for what has passed, I hope that Allah the Exalted will forgive it and accept your work, and do not return to such a thing.
The presenter : If Allah wills, if Allah wills, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.
