The Ruling on Repeating 'Umrah Every Month

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on performing 'Umrah once every month or once every two months?

Answer:
Yes, 'Umrah has no limit, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says
Perform Hajj and 'Umrah consecutively, for they remove poverty and sin as the bellows removes impurity from iron and goldتابعوا بين الحج والعمرة، فإنهما ينفيان الفقر والذنوب كما ينفي الكير خبث الحديد والذهب
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2631Hasan (Darussalam)
and the thought is that pairing 'Umrah is required, and there is good in it. However, some scholars say that one should make a specific amount of time between the two 'Umrahs until hair grows on the head, so ten days or a week. This is better than going out several times a day and performing 'Umrah once a day. So it is better that one makes a specific amount of time between the two 'Umrahs such that hair grows on his head which he shaves or shortens during the 'Umrah. This is better. Also, for the one who is in Makkah, the one who is inside Makkah in the Haram, it is better for him to remain in the Haram and not go back and forth to the miqat for 'Umrah, because remaining in the Haram is better than going out for 'Umrah. Remaining in the Haram, one prayer is worth a hundred thousand prayers. So remaining in the Haram, and his seeking of reward in al-Masjid al-Haram, and reciting the Qur'an, and the remembrance of Allah in al-Masjid al-Haram, and circumambulating the Ka'bah, this is better than him going out and doing a morning trip in search of 'Umrah.
