Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the interval between one 'Umrah and the next? Because I am actually retired, and I want to maintain a connection with the Noble Makkah to gain the good deeds and the reward that comes with it?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But there should be a time interval between the two 'Umrahs such that the hair on his head grows. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) did not go out for 'Umrah until his head had grown a tuft of hair, so that he would have a tuft, meaning some hair on his head, in order to shave it during the 'Umrah. Therefore, performing 'Umrahs in close succession, this close succession, should not be done. Yes.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Follow one Hajj with another 'Umrah, and one 'Umrah with another 'Umrah, for they are an expiation for what is between them, if major sins are avoided."
صلى الله عليه وسلم تابعوا بين الحج والعمرة وقال العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهن إذا اجتنبت الكبائر
