Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He also asks: What is the ruling on going for 'Umrah with one's family? Performing 'Umrah with one's family in the last ten days of Ramadan, and then neglecting them and not following up on them.
Answer:
This is not permissible. He goes with them and leaves them to wander in Makkah, leaving his sons and daughters in the markets of Makkah, amidst the chasing and flirting and the crowding in the streets, or going to the gatherings of people in the markets. This is not permissible for him, and he is not considered to have performed 'Umrah. The one who does this is not considered to have performed 'Umrah, because he has neglected more than he has fulfilled, because he has abandoned his charge.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says [At-Tahrim 66:6] So the one who does this work, who leaves his children and women in Makkah and his daughters in Makkah, while he sits in the Haram and does not return, because he is more concerned with his 'Umrah than with his children, should remain in his home, guarding his children, his Sunnah, and his women. This is a greater reward for him than the 'Umrah in which he neglects his responsibilities.

A man is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man in his home is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.
الرجل راع ومسؤول عن رعيته، الرجل في بيته راع ومسؤول عن رعيته،O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
