Ruling on Taking Emergency Leave to Perform 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: My husband took emergency leave, and we went to Makkah to perform 'Umrah, desiring to avoid the crowds of people and to secure a 'Umrah, finding or finding in its performance tranquility. Is that permissible for him?
Answer:
Emergency leave is only granted according to the regulations established for it. So if he has a dire necessity, he takes the leave. But going to perform 'Umrah is not a dire necessity. So if he takes emergency or urgent leave for the sake of 'Umrah, that is lying, because 'Umrah is not a dire necessity. Yes.
