A Question on the Validity of 'Umrah

The questioner : Yes. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh Muhammad?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : By Allah, I have a question, if you would be so kind, could you answer it for me? All right. By Allah, I went and performed 'Umrah this Ramadan. And during that period, I had stomach disturbances and such, and I had a kind of gas that kept coming out continuously, I mean. So a good brother asked me, and he told me that my ruling is the same as the ruling for one who has urinary incontinence. But after I came back from the 'Umrah, the matter went away; I no longer had anything, I mean, and I became normal, I mean.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, there is nothing wrong.

The questioner : I mean, is there no fidyah or anything like that? And I mean, is the 'Umrah accepted or not?

The Shaykh : We ask Allah to accept it.

The questioner : If Allah wills, by the command of Allah, I mean, there is nothing, I mean.

The Shaykh : There is nothing. Remember.
