Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about repeating 'Umrah in Ramadan, meaning that a person performs, for example, three 'Umrahs. This question and its answer have been repeated.
Answer:
We told you, my brothers, that the best and most excellent thing for you is to remain in al-Masjid al-Haram for worship. You are seeking reward. Remaining in al-Masjid al-Haram, praying in it—one prayer there is worth one hundred thousand prayers. What about 'Umrah? One prayer is worth one hundred thousand. If you go to perform 'Umrah, you miss many prayers. There is no doubt that 'Umrah has reward and merit, but there is something better than it. Better than it is remaining in al-Masjid al-Haram for prayer, tawaf, reciting the Qur'an, and i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in al-Masjid al-Haram. This is more rewarding and greater in merit than repeating 'Umrah multiple times. You have performed 'Umrah, that is enough. You have performed it once, and that suffices. Praise be to Allah.
