Question:
The questioner says: My mother came to Makkah as a pilgrim performing 'Umrah, and now she wants to go out to al-Tan'īm to perform another 'Umrah for her son? May Allah reward you. My mother came to Makkah as a pilgrim performing 'Umrah, and now she wants to go out to al-Tan'īm to perform another 'Umrah for her deceased son. Is this permissible for her?
Answer:
It is permissible to repeat 'Umrah from al-Tan'īm, but it is better to leave it and remain in Makkah, praying in al-Masjid al-Haram, where one prayer is worth a hundred thousand prayers, and performing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in al-Masjid al-Haram for reciting the Qur'an, making du'a' (supplication), and praying voluntary prayers. This is better for him than 'Umrah.
And he makes du'a' for whom he wishes: he makes du'a' for his parents, he makes du'a' for his brother, he makes du'a' for whom he wishes. He performs tawaf (circumambulation) of the House and makes du'a' for himself, for his parents, and for whom he wishes among the Muslims, making du'a' for them during the tawaf. This is sufficient in place of repeating 'Umrah, because repeating 'Umrah from the Haram is something that was not reported from the Salaf (the earliest generations); it was not reported that they would go out from Makkah and come back with an 'Umrah from al-Hilf.
This was only reported regarding 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when she persisted with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when she persisted with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was not satisfied with the 'Umrah she had combined with the Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had her perform 'Umrah from al-Tan'īm in order to cut off her regret and make her heart content, as evidenced by the fact that the Companions did not do this; they did not do this. So remaining in Makkah, remaining in al-Masjid al-Haram, performing tawaf of the House, and praying in al-Masjid al-Haram is better than repeating 'Umrah. Yes.
