The reward of 'Umrah in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, she says: I asked my husband to let me perform 'Umrah at the end of Ramadan, and he told me that the reward of 'Umrah in Ramadan is the same whether it is at the beginning or the end of the month. Is his statement correct?

Answer:
Yes, his statement is correct. 'Umrah in Ramadan, whether at the beginning, the middle, or the end, is all the same; it is all 'Umrah in Ramadan. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
'Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj, orعمرة في رمضان تعدل حجة، أو
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 7:538
In fact, performing 'Umrah at the beginning or middle of Ramadan may be better than performing it in the last ten days due to the severe crowding and the presence of danger. Many questions have come from people who go in the last ten days to perform 'Umrah, enter the state of ihram from the miqat, and go to perform it in the last ten days, only to find severe crowding. Then they refuse to remain in ihram and return to their countries after having entered into it. This is due to ignorance and lack of concern. It is better for a person to perform 'Umrah at times when there is spaciousness and room, rather than at times when there is crowding and potential danger. Yes.
