Does one who performs 'Umrah twice in Ramadan receive the reward twice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says in his question: If a Muslim performs 'Umrah twice in Ramadan, does he receive the reward mentioned in the hadith twice?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says, may Allah forgive you: If a Muslim performs 'Umrah twice in Ramadan, does he receive the reward mentioned in the hadith twice?

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajjعمرة في رمضان تعدل حجة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 939Sahih (Darussalam)
This is a great reward.
As for repeating 'Umrah in a close time frame, this is not desirable. The scholars dislike performing 'Umrah in close succession.
In a close time frame, he performs 'Umrah, then sits in Makkah; this is better for him. He delays his 'Umrah and sits in Makkah; this is better for him.
Rather than leaving Makkah to perform a second 'Umrah; because his prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram is worth a thousand prayers, and his tawaf around the House and his i'tikaf in al-Masjid al-Haram are better than 'Umrah. Yes.
