Postponing 'Umrah in Rajab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I intended to perform 'Umrah this week, but some people advised me to leave it for another month so that my 'Umrah would not resemble the practice of the people of innovation,
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
who gather on the twenty-seventh of this month, Rajab.
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is correct. Postpone the 'Umrah until this shubhah (doubtful matter) is removed. Because those who rely on Rajab are the innovators. So you should avoid this. Do not participate with them. Even if you did not intend this, there is participation with them. It is a resemblance to them. So postpone the 'Umrah to a time other than Rajab. Yes.
