The ruling on performing 'Umrah after completing the rites of Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As happened to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), from this we take a subtle point: what pilgrims do today by intentionally performing 'Umrah after completing the rites of Hajj by leaving Makkah to al-Tan'im, which is now called the Mosque of 'A'ishah, has no basis in the Sunnah. It is contrary to what we affirm, which is that the best is to make things easy. If it is possible, the Shari'ah commands the pilgrim to perform 'Umrah before Hajj: he performs 'Umrah in one of the months of Hajj, exits the state of ihram after the 'Umrah while in Makkah, then resumes the state of ihram on the eighth day while in Makkah for Hajj, and continues with the acts of Hajj. When he performs the Tawaf of Ifadah, his Hajj is complete, and there is no 'Umrah after that. What the majority of people do by performing 'Umrah after Hajj is not prescribed except for a specific group of people: women, first, and not all of them, but only the menstruating women whose situation is like that of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who performed the 'Umrah of Hajj but was prevented from performing Tawaf around the House by menstruation, so she did not perform 'Umrah due to a legal excuse. She is the one who may perform 'Umrah after Hajj. Therefore, by deduction from this authentic hadith, we call the 'Umrah after Hajj the "Umrah of the menstruating woman," meaning the menstruating woman who was unable to perform 'Umrah before Hajj is the one who performs 'Umrah after Hajj. As for the woman who is in a state of purity, she may not perform 'Umrah after Hajj; rather, she must perform 'Umrah before Hajj. And even more so, the man, whom Allah has preferred over women by not making him menstruate, why should he imitate the menstruating women by performing the 'Umrah of the menstruating women? This is something the majority of people overlook. Therefore, one hundred thousand or more people performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and not one of them performed 'Umrah after Hajj, nor did the women, except only 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) with the excuse you have heard. The point of this is that at the end of this hadith, those upon whom the love of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is obligatory and due are those who exchange money with one another, even if it is small, because you know that the reward is according to the degree of hardship when there is no presence or ability, and as mentioned previously in his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:
A dirham preceded a hundred thousand
سبق درهم مئة ألف
