I performed 'Umrah more than once; is that sufficient in place of Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello, yes, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Who is this? Yes, regarding Hajj and 'Umrah. She says: Honorable Shaykh, I performed 'Umrah more than once in Ramadan. Does that suffice for the Hajj of Islam?
The Shaykh : The answer to this question is: first, why did you repeat 'Umrah four times in one month?
The questioner : It was not in one month.
The Shaykh : Yes, she says it was not in one month? It does not suffice for Hajj. A thousand 'Umrahs do not suffice for Hajj. A person must perform Hajj, because 'Umrah does not include standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, staying overnight at Mina, or stoning the pillars. So if a person performed 'Umrah a thousand times, it would not suffice for him in place of Hajj.
The presenter : We ask Allah to make her affairs easy and to facilitate for her a blessed Hajj and a forgiven sin. Yes.
The questioner : Yes, she says: Shaykh, because she has no mahram, and her brothers make excuses, saying we are busy and so on. So you
The Shaykh : Tell her that there is no sin on her. Praise be to Allah. As long as she left off Hajj because she has no mahram, Hajj, praise be to Allah, is not obligatory upon her. This is based on the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] Ability means that a woman has a mahram. So tell this questioner and other women who do not find a mahram that there is no Hajj upon them, and that they will, if Allah wills, meet Allah with their souls free of blame, praise be to Allah.
