The ruling on the hadith: An 'Umrah in Ramadan is like a Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith that an 'Umrah in Ramadan is like a Hajj is with me. Is it authentic, given that the 'Umrahs performed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were in the month of Dhul-Qa'dah, and Allah chooses the best times for His Messenger?
Answer:
Yes, an 'Umrah in Ramadan is authentic in the hadith as being equivalent to a Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, the Messenger did not perform 'Umrah in Ramadan because the Messenger is a lawgiver; if he had performed 'Umrah in Ramadan, the entire Ummah would have performed it, and hardship would have befallen the people. Hardship would have befallen the people. The Messenger may delay an action he loves to do, fearing that it will become obligatory for his Ummah and fearing that it will be burdensome for his Ummah. May Allah reward you.
The Farewell Pilgrimage: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) descended at al-Mi'lat, meaning at the Righ of al-Hujun, near the Haram. He did not go to the Sacred Mosque. He prayed in his house. (Peace and blessings be upon him). And he said that a prayer in the Sacred Mosque is worth a hundred thousand prayers in other places. Yes, the Sacred Mosque includes the entire Haram; everything within the miles is the Sacred Mosque.
The Messenger wanted to make things easy for his Ummah, because if he had gone to pray in the Sacred Mosque at the Ka'bah for every obligatory prayer, it would have been burdensome for his Ummah. He loves to make things easy for them. He may delay an action he loves to do, fearing that it will be burdensome for his Ummah. Therefore, when he prayed with his Companions for nights in Ramadan, he prayed with his Companions for nights of the month of Ramadan, then he delayed them on the last night while they were waiting for him. He informed them that he only delayed them out of fear that it would become obligatory upon them and they would be unable to keep up with it. He is merciful to his Ummah and does not want to make things difficult for them, even though he recommends the action, he delays it fearing that it will become obligatory for his Ummah. So he did not perform 'Umrah in Ramadan, despite the virtue of 'Umrah, in order to make things easy for the Ummah. And if 'Umrah leads to severe crowding, hardship, and danger, then the Muslim delays it until after Ramadan, praise be to Allah. But if it is facilitated, he hastens to perform 'Umrah seeking reward. But if it becomes difficult, if it becomes burdensome and crowded, and perhaps what is more important than it is lost, what is more important than it is lost, then he delays it. Yes.
