Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success
Answer:
Is 'Umrah obligatory? There is scholarly disagreement among the scholars, and we hold that it is obligatory once in a lifetime. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he mentioned the pillars of Islam, saying, "And that you perform Hajj and 'Umrah." In another narration, he addressed the one who performed Hajj on behalf of his father and said, "Perform Hajj on behalf of your father and perform 'Umrah." So the correct view is that it is obligatory. Yes.
