The Generality of the Hadith: An 'Umrah in Ramadan Equals a Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the Imam (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding an 'Umrah in Ramadan is one of the hadiths of the deputy. Is it specific to the woman who had the mark on her face? That is what I asked about.
Answer:
Yes, this is what appears from the words of Ibn al-Qayyim in *Zad al-Ma'ad*, and it is also the position of his Shaykh, the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, in his *Fatawa*. It seems they lean toward the view that the 'Umrah in Ramadan was a specific case for this woman who missed the Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it does not have a general application. Allah knows best. They say this because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform 'Umrah in Ramadan. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform any 'Umrah in Dhul-Qa'dah except the one that was with his Hajj, which was during the days of Tashriq, meaning with the Hajj during the days of Hajj. As for the 'Umrah for which he entered the state of ihram from al-Ji'ranah, that was in Shawwal, because he came from Hawazin entering Makkah, so he entered ihram from al-Ji'ranah, and that was in Shawwal. There is no report that he ever performed 'Umrah in Ramadan. This indicates that this matter is a specific case particular to this woman and does not have a general application?
