Question:
We came from Syria and performed 'Umrah, praise be to Allah. Which is more meritorious after that: circumambulating and reciting the Qur'an in the Noble Sanctuary, or repeating 'Umrah every day?
Answer:
No, it is better that you remain in al-Masjid al-Haram and perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in al-Masjid al-Haram during these blessed days. You pray in it, where one prayer is worth a hundred thousand prayers, you circumambulate the House, you recite the Qur'an, you remember Allah, and you perform i'tikaf. Remaining, remaining in the Haram in al-Masjid al-Haram is worship; sitting in it is worship if you intend the reward and merit in doing so. This is better than repeating 'Umrah. Yes.
