Question:
May Allah bless you. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on repeating 'Umrah on the same day? I ask for clarification of the opinions of the scholars on this issue.
Answer:
The majority of scholars hold that one should not leave the Haram in order to come back for another 'Umrah, but rather remain in the Haram, praying, reciting the Qur'an, and performing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in the Sacred Mosque. This is better for him than 'Umrah. However, if he leaves and performs another 'Umrah, there is nothing wrong with it, but remaining in the Haram is better than going out.
To come for another 'Umrah, because prayer in the Sacred Mosque is worth a hundred thousand prayers, and i'tikaf there, and tawaf (circumambulation) around the House. So remaining in the Haram and occupying himself with worship is better than him going out and bringing back an 'Umrah, and bringing back an 'Umrah, and bringing back an 'Umrah, cutting up his time and wasting it. This is better.
And if he wants to say, "No, I will not bring back an 'Umrah, and I will go out to the non-sacred area," he should not make the time between them close, meaning two or three 'Umrahs in one day. This is not appropriate. But he should make a long interval between the two 'Umrahs, three days, four days, five days. Yes, and the longer the interval, the better.
