What is better after 'Umrah: repeating it or staying in al-Masjid al-Haram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have finished my 'Umrah, so what is the greater reward? Should I perform another 'Umrah, or circumambulate the Ka'bah, or pray voluntary prayers? And does the one who performs an 'Umrah after an 'Umrah need to shave some hair from his head?

Answer:
If you have performed an 'Umrah, you must shave your head a second and third time; every 'Umrah requires shaving or shortening the hair. As for repeating the 'Umrah, the scholars say that if you are in Makkah, it is better for you to stay in al-Masjid al-Haram, circumambulating, praying, reading the Qur'an, and performing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in al-Masjid al-Haram. One prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram is worth a hundred thousand prayers in any other place, so staying in al-Masjid al-Haram is better than repeating the 'Umrah. Yes.
