The questioner:
Let Abu Muhammad join us on the line. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you peace. Break the ice a little, please go ahead. My brother, I have a voluntary 'Umrah. Should I go for the voluntary 'Umrah, or is it better to pray tahajjud and stand in night prayer? Which of the two is better? Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
My brother, staying in the Sacred Mosque, praying and circumambulating the House, is better for you than going for 'Umrah. So if you are in Makkah, it is best for you to engage in obedience in the Sacred Mosque and not go out for 'Umrah. Yes.
The questioner:
No, my brother, I am in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah.
The Shaykh:
Or in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, it is better for you to pray these nights and stay in the Prophet's Mosque; that is better for you than 'Umrah. Yes.
