Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person in ihram is prevented from performing 'Umrah or Hajj, is it counted for him as an 'Umrah or a Hajj, like the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah?
Answer:
Yes, it is recorded for him because he did not leave it by his own choice; rather, he left it due to an excuse. He is rewarded for his intention and purpose, as the excuse prevented him, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. The one who intends to do good, but an excuse prevents him, has the reward of the one who did the good: jihad, Hajj, or 'Umrah. Yes. Jihad in the cause of Allah has the reward of the one who performed it. Yes.
