The ruling on repeating 'Umrah in a single journey and from where one enters the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questions have multiplied again regarding repeating 'Umrah in a single journey, whether for oneself, for a relative, or for one of the deceased Muslims. And from where does one enter the state of ihram if one wishes to do so? Does one return to the miqat from which one entered ihram, or does one go out to al-Tan'im? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
We have told you in several answers that there is nothing wrong with repeating 'Umrah in a single journey; there is nothing wrong with it. However, the better and more excellent option is to remain in al-Masjid al-Haram and not repeat 'Umrah. The prayer in it is worth a hundred thousand prayers, circumambulation of the House, recitation of the Qur'an, and i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in al-Masjid al-Haram. All of these are better; each one of these matters is better than repeating 'Umrah.
Otherwise, it is permissible to repeat 'Umrah; there is nothing wrong with it. For one who is inside Makkah, the ihram for it is from al-Hal (the area outside the sacred precinct), the boundaries of the Haram. Whether from 'Arafah, or from al-Ja'ranah, or from al-Tan'im. But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified al-Tan'im for 'A'ishah because it is the closest, because it is the closest boundary of the Haram to Makkah. Otherwise, it is permissible to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from all directions of al-Hal. Yes, and one does not go to the miqat. No, one does not go to the miqat. One goes out to al-Hal, outside the miles, and enters the state of ihram.
