The Ruling on Repeating 'Umrah and the Explanation of Its Obligation

The questioner:
How much will he put in the library, whether in existence or not.

The Shaykh:
Regarding Hajj or the odd-numbered prayer, because there is disagreement regarding 'Umrah, whereas there is no disagreement regarding Hajj, by the consensus of the Muslims. Hajj is a pillar of Islam, while the disagreement regarding 'Umrah is in the grave.

The questioner:
Brother, may Allah be pleased with you, yes?

The Shaykh:
It was delayed in the ninth and tenth years; its obligation means its obligation due to its earlier legislation, but its obligation [became established] in the ninth and tenth years. Some said it was in the sixth or fifth year, but the stronger view is that it was delayed. Yes. Hmm? There is no harm, if it is facilitated and there is no crowding and no harm, just as he did in haste. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted her and considered it after Hajj, even though he considered it a combined pilgrimage (qiran), but he permitted her and she performed 'Umrah from Tan'im. So if it is facilitated without harm, there is nothing wrong with it. But if there is crowding and it has been considered, leaving it off to preserve [one's safety] is like how the Companions left it off. The previous 'Umrah is sufficient.

The questioner:
It is better, the best is what he knows, yes, it is better.

The Shaykh:
If there is crowding, he takes a hundred 'Umrahs in what is facilitated, not a thousand 'Umrahs in what is facilitated, what is the point?

The questioner:
From even with an 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
Just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is an 'Umrah worth a hundred 'Umrahs, and not a thousand 'Umrahs, whenever it is facilitated without hardship and without causing harm to people. Yes.
