The Ruling on Repeating 'Umrah on Behalf of the Deceased and the Interval Between 'Umrahs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed 'Umrah for myself, and praise be to Allah, and I performed 'Umrah on behalf of my deceased uncle. I want to perform 'Umrah for my deceased sister. Is this permissible, and what is the interval between each 'Umrah?

Answer:
We have said and repeated that it is better for you to remain in al-Masjid al-Haram and not go out to seek 'Umrah; because this causes you to miss many virtues. Your staying in al-Masjid al-Haram for tawaf, prayer, reciting the Qur'an, i'tikaf, tasbih, tahlil, and dhikr of Allah is better for you than 'Umrah. This is what we see for you and for our other Muslim brothers. As for 'Umrah, if you wish to perform 'Umrah for yourself or for someone else, when you come to Makkah a second time, perform 'Umrah.
